Environmental Engagement and the Economy for the Indo-Pacific and Central Asia, an Inter-Regional Project  - May 25th - May 31st, 2023
We are excited to continue to host diverse programming topics here in NH! We cannot wait to host 9 international visitors from Australia, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. These visitors will meet with a diverse array of NH professional resources with focuses on eco-friendly business practices, sustainable agricultural practices and agritourism, addressing issues of food security, and renewable energy sources for the business sector. We look forward to learning alongside our visitors the various ways local government, society, and private-sector organizations can all promote economic growth while protecting the environment.

IVLP PROGRAM UPDATE 

In the past year WACNH has worked to navigate the challenges of the pandemic by working with the Office of International Visitors at the State Department and Global Ties U.S. During this time we have rapidly and successfully implemented IVLP Virtual Exchanges. While these will never replace in-person programming, it is proving to be a valuable tool for continuing to engage our global community in vital exchanges of ideas.

With many advances in vaccines, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State has reinstated in-person IVLP programming to resume in Spring 2022. 

We were able to welcome back our first in-person program in April 2022 on the topic of  "Global and Regional Economic Cooperation". Our WACNH team will continue to also host virtual programs as they arise, and will do our best to produce top quality programs for exchange and further understanding for both our international visitors and local NH community members. 

Please note, the safety of U.S. citizens, as well as our international visitors, is a top priority. Additional updates will be provided as new information is received.
