Alliance endorses bipartisan Congressional International Exchanges Caucus

The Alliance for International Exchange is proud to serve as the inaugural endorsing organization of the bipartisan Congressional International Exchanges Caucus, launched today by U.S. Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), and U.S. Representatives Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ, 2) and Ami Bera (D-CA, 6). 

The Caucus was created to bolster engagement and support for international exchange programs, particularly those administered by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) within Congress, and will serve as a platform for members to: 

• Learn from Americans about the impact of international exchange programs on their states and districts; and  

• Ensure ECA’s long-term programmatic sustainability and success by offering exclusive opportunities to engage with Administration officials on the latest topics impacting international exchange programs. 

The Alliance commends the bipartisan, bicameral partnership on display in the creation of this caucus and looks forward to working with its members to promote international exchange programs.
