We are a group of alumni of various exchange programs financed by the US government. For many of us, the exchange stay in the United States was a breakthrough in our professional and personal lives. We feel united by this exceptional and prestigious experience. The Alumni Association was established in 2006. Its members include alumni of all exchange and student programs financed by the US government. The biggest and best known of these are the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and the Fulbright Program, but our members have also participated in many others. Our Alumni Association aims to bring the nations of Poland and the United States closer together, propagate knowledge about the U.S., establish and maintain contacts between the alumni of the US state department exchange programs in Poland and in the whole world, and support the professional and personal development of our members. It enables members to establish new professional contacts through meeting with American experts and representatives of American administration, projects benefiting the local community, cultural events, workshops, seminars, conferences, and discussion meetings.
