About GLS

Over the last 36 years, over 1000 participants have represented more than 100 countries. These innovators and leaders are members of an exclusive global alumni network that includes presidents and prime ministers, royalty, parliamentarians and cabinet officials, CEOs and heads of NGOs, high ranking military officers, journalists and academics.

The objectives of the Georgetown Leadership Seminar are:

To promote among emerging world leaders a dialogue leading to cross-disciplinary cooperation in international affairs
To expose participants to, and therefore broaden their understanding of, the major issues in the foreign policy-making process in the United States through direct contact with top level American policy makers
To establish and cultivate an ongoing network crucial to strengthening international cooperation and areas of agreement among leaders in the global community
