Every issue has stakeholders and leaders who represent them. These leaders need to talk and understand each other’s position, find a common ground and come up with new ideas and solutions. Through dialogue they learn from others with similar challenges. We believe in the power of constructive and respectful dialogue as a force of good in an increasingly polarized world. Such dialogues should take place everywhere, between all stakeholders, and deal with thousands of critical issues while sharing outcomes with leaders so that they can help implement practical solutions to complex problems. We broaden the dialogue to include not only politicians/policymakers but also business leaders, civil society leaders, and academics/scientists. By leveraging technology we have an opportunity to broaden the conversation globally to include a far greater range of stakeholders than ever before. We are committed to fact-based dialogue and follow through on that commitment by staffing with researchers. The Global Leaders Assembly is an initiative of a group of alumni of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service who are concerned about the current state of global affairs.
