The Inter-American Dialogue’s in-house analysts leverage their extensive expertise to develop innovative, comprehensive, and practical policy recommendations and proposals for action. Collaborating with our Board of Directors, members, fellows, and other advisors, they ensure that our policy solutions are inclusive and reflect a diverse array of viewpoints. Staff actively engage with government officials, civil society leaders, and private stakeholders for maximum impact of our work.
Dr. Rebecca Bill Chavez is president and CEO of the Inter-American Dialogue. She is a member of the Truman Center for National Policy Board of Directors, the Leadership Council for Women in National Security (LCWINS) Steering Committee, the Princeton University Institute for Regional and International Studies Advisory Board, and the Foreign Policy for America Advisory Board.
Inter-American Dialogue fellows are subject matter experts in priority areas and play a vital role in our programmatic activities. They engage in our meetings and working groups, spearhead special projects, analyze current events across the Western Hemisphere, and inform our policy research.
The Board of Directors at the Inter-American Dialogue oversee policy and program direction, offering crucial financial and administrative oversight. With a primary role in defining the Dialogue’s substantive agenda, shaping our institutional development strategies, and selecting candidates for Dialogue membership, board members help push our mission forward. Comprised of representatives from across Latin American and Caribbean nations, as well as from the United States and Canada, the board reflects a diversity of political and professional perspectives all sharing a commitment to democratic rule, social equity, and economic cooperation across the Americas.
Established in 2014, the Inter-American Dialogue’s President’s Leadership Council brings together business and community leaders from around the world for in-depth discussions on the pressing challenges facing the Western Hemisphere. Its members share a commitment to the values of democratic governance, social equity, and prosperity. They advise the Dialogue’s president and senior leadership on programmatic matters, providing input on the Dialogue’s agenda and helping to expand the reach of our work. Membership is by-invitation only. For more information, contact president@thedialogue.org.
