Message from Dan DavidsonPresident of American Councils for International Education
Dear American Councils Colleagues,
• As we begin preparations for the new cycle of programs, I write to share with you final copy of American Councils' recently revised Mission, Vision, and Core Values Statements for your familiarization and use.
• The Strategic Plan is revised every five years to accommodate our evolution as an organization, as well as the changing field and world environment around us.
• In commending these materials to you, I also want to express thanks to the large number of American Councils staff members, trustees of the organization, and organizational partners who contributed their ideas and suggestions to the process of revising and updating the mission statement for the organization, the vision statement, and core values.
