General Information

The Latin American Board's main activities center on its flagship project, the Global Competitiveness Leadership Program, in which young leaders from the Ibero-American Region are given a full scholarship to participate in a 12-week program at Georgetown University. The program draws on interdisciplinary faculty from across departments at Georgetown, including professors from the McDonough School of Business, the Walsh School of Foreign Service and the Georgetown College. The academic program also includes expert leaders from the Region focused on public, private and non-profit leadership.

Taking into consideration that Georgetown seeks to promote leaders who will make a disproportionate difference in the world, the Latin American Board has sought to align itself with this mission. As the University develops its identity as a "Global" University, the Global Competitiveness Leadership Program is a crucial component to achieve this goal.

In particular, the program hopes to prepare participants to understand barriers that impede development in their countries and to generate and support reform initiatives substantiated in new visions of integral development, carried out through applicable projects in the respective countries of participants.

The differentiating component of the GCL Program is a focus on action. Each leader is to develop a social project to be applied upon their return to their country. The GCL Program seeks to multiply its impact through its network of leaders in the Latin American region based on a social entrepreneurship model.
