MERIDIAN INTERNATIONAL CENTER
Leaders of IAPC have benefited from seminars hosted by the nonprofit Meridian International Center. We encourage our members and Web site visitors to take advantage of their higher level offerings. Many in the Washington DC diplomatic and international business communities attend and the networking opportunities are also valuable.
The Meridian International Center is dedicated to nonpartisan public diplomacy and offers a wide array of seminars. Their exceptional programs are of interest to protocol, etiquette and civility professionals, such as discussions with leaders in international affairs, world culture courses, and exhibitions/performances featuring artists from abroad.
