Hemispheric. Pluralistic. Independent.

About Us

Advancing democratic resilience, shared prosperity, social inclusion, and sustainable development across the Americas.

Rebecca Bill Chavez | President & CEO

For over four decades, the Inter-American Dialogue has convened global leaders, offering a forum for innovative policy ideas and actionable proposals to address shared challenges across the Americas. Based in Washington, DC, our efforts extend throughout the Western Hemisphere, working in partnership with leading institutions worldwide. Our select membership of over 100 distinguished individuals from the United States, Canada, and 23 Latin American, Caribbean, and European countries drives our mission forward. This esteemed group includes former presidents, cabinet members, legislators, and influential voices in business, finance, media, civil society, and academia, all actively shaping and advancing our vigorous debates.

Together, we focus on five critical areas for the region’s future: promoting equitable relations between Asia and Latin America, enhancing education and skill development, advancing a just energy transition and climate action, fostering fair development for migrant communities, and supporting democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. These areas require fresh perspectives, creativity, and firm resolve—qualities that our members and partners bring to every initiative. Through these collaborative efforts, we seek to build a stronger, more integrated future for the Americas.
