For example, a delegation of medical managers and administrators traveled to South Africa to discuss national health care quality with their colleagues there. Another delegation, made up of women leaders, community activists and economists, visits Australia to meet with their peers in business and industry. Names of professionals are recommended to us in several different ways. Our delegation leaders often tell us about outstanding professionals in their field who should be invited, and they sometimes make available to us lists of qualified professionals. Also, recommendations of professional colleagues are received from Ambassador alumni and from invitees.
Participation is by invitation only.
Any professional can, however, call our Program Office in Spokane and request an invitation for a project that is related to his or her profession. Departure dates are year-round, with new projects being developed monthly.
