IVCLA professional resources provide a vital service to our international visitors by meeting with leaders from other countries in their professional field, exchanging ideas, challenges, successes and making valuable connections. Visitors return home with this information and share it with their wide field of influence. This often becomes a catalyst for strengthening and developing change in their organization, business, or government. The time that a Professional Resource spends with a visitor can have a lasting impact on the world.

Our Professional Resources represent many different fields, from community based volunteer organizations, to Fortune 500 companies, to government agencies. Each year IVCLA presents the Outstanding Resource Award to two resources that have consistently provided quality meetings for visitors.
