Montana Center for International Visitors MCIV Members MCIV is supported by volunteers locally and throughout the state. We are funded in part by a grant from the national organization, but also rely on local membership support.
Basic membership provides personal invitations to our visitor receptions and membership luncheons.
Members also receive MCIV's quarterly newsletters, and opportunities to meet personally with our distinguished guests. Members can also get involved by helping to arrange professional and cultural programs for the visitors, serving as professional resources, inviting guests to their homes for dinners, and serving on boards of directors. Through the relationships MCIV members develop with our international visitors, they strengthen their international ties, establish foreign trade contacts, and develop their citizens' knowledge of the world and ability to communicate across cultures. In other words, they promote global education through citizen diplomacy.
