Show the World How… Cleveland LEADS
Do you have what it takes to be a leader in an increasingly globalized world?
How do topics such as global awareness, international complexity and diversity, intercultural understanding, and global competency impact what we do everyday in Greater Cleveland?
How can young professionals shape the region of Northeast Ohio through a more global lens?
The Cleveland LEADS program seeks to answer these questions through a 10-week course that draws on subject matter experts and invites young professionals aged 20-35 to explore their own leadership style and how they can become more globally-minded leaders. This interactive and introspective course is built around three key program pillars: leadership development, global competency, and international exchange.
We know that Cleveland LEADS, and we want YOU to join us in developing the leaders of the future!

The United States and an Evolving Europe: Transatlantic Ties 2021-2022
2021-11-16 17:30 - 19:30
With federal elections in Germany in September 2021 and presidential elections in France in May 2022, the European political landscape is evolving just as the Biden Administration is seeking to rebuild and revitalize the transatlantic relationship. The transatlantic agenda is vast, including issues of common interest such as climate change, cybersecurity, defense, and trade. However, domestic political trends in Europe and in the United States continue to impact U.S.-EU cooperation. The withdrawal from Afghanistan will also have a lasting impact on how the U.S. and its European allies and partners work together. Rachel Ellehuus, Deputy Director for the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, will offer her insights into the current state of the transatlantic alliance.
