The NCIV Midwest Regional Meeting took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, May 19-21, and was funded through NCIV's Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. State Department, Office of International Visitors. The meeting was hosted locally by the International Center of Indianapolis, which expertly managed a myriad of responsibilities. The three-day gathering brought together representatives of all the major partners who orchestrate programs for International Visitors, allowing both veterans and novices alike excellent opportunities to interact, share practical advice, voice concerns, listen to important policy questions, and enjoy the collective spirit that sustains international exchanges as a vital instrument of public diplomacy. Including speakers, 105 people registered for the meeting.
