Since the Cuyahoga County corruption scandal was revealed nearly a decade ago, both local government and law enforcement agencies have been committed to preventing money laundering in addition to a wide-range of other financial crimes. AML experts and prosecutors from Vietnam will explore Northeast Ohio’s counter-measures against fraud and methods of promoting inter-agency cooperation. Meetings will highlight local public and private sector resources that tackle financial crimes and new forms of high-tech money laundering through cryptocurrency.

International Visitor Leadership (IVLP) Program

Each year, over 300 professionals from around the world visit Northeast Ohio through IVLP. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, these visitors have been identified by U.S. embassies as emerging leaders in their fields. Over 50 Nobel Laureates and 335 current or former Chiefs of State or Heads of Government are alumni of this program.

By connecting with foreign leaders we strengthen Northeast Ohio’s commercial, cultural, and educational ties with the rest of the world. For more information, contact Katie Ferman, Program Officer, at kferman@ccwa.ccwa.org or click here. To get involved as a Citizen Diplomat, click here.
