“IVLP Gold Stars Tour: Alumni Connecting the World”
In February 2011, The International Council will host the first-ever “IVLP Gold Stars Tour”, which will bring 18 IVLP alumni from around the world to end their US tour in the Tampa Bay Region!
The Office of International Visitors has created a special project called the “IVLP Gold Stars’ Tour: Alumni Connecting the World,” to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ongoing partnership between the Department of State and the National Council for International Visitors (NCIV). This 2-week multi-regional project will bring 18 IVLP alumni from around the world to Washington, D.C., just prior to the NCIV National Meeting.
After a week in Washington D.C., the alumni will travel individually or in small groups to up to 18 different CIVs from their initial program itineraries. The alumni will regroup in a closing city for some farewell activities. This Gold Stars’ Tour will allow participants an opportunity to speak with CIV boards, staff, volunteers and resources about the very real impact of the program on their work and lives in their own countries, and to re-connect with key organizations and interlocutors who were inspirational and/or instrumental in their accomplishments.
We are delighted that Dr. Elvis Ahmedi – who visited the Tampa Bay Region in 2008 with the first “combined” IVLP groups of breast cancer awareness delegations from around the world – has been selected one of the 18 alumni who will return to the US. Elvis will return to Tampa Bay the week of February 20 to renew his professional and personal relationships.
Following his original program, The International Council partnered with Moffitt Cancer Center in a project with Dr. Ahmedi and his colleagues in Pristina, Kosovo that has dramatically changed the way cancer medicine is practiced in this Balkan nation. This project is ongoing, led by Dr. Elvis Ahmedi, who was here in 2008 (see “Special Projects”).

Women’s Leadership:
The Next Hundred Years
100 years of progress . . . 100 women of promise
“On this International Women’s Day, let us rededicate ourselves to advancing and protecting the rights of women and girls, and join together to ensure that no one is left behind in the 21st century.”
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 8, 2010
The International Council is delighted to announce that it has been selected to host a special project for 20 Women Leaders invited to the US in celebration of the centennial of “International Women’s Day”.
