INTERNATIONAL

LeaderImpact Global Exchanges give business leaders an opportunity to give back by bringing their knowledge, influence, and expertise to marketplace leaders in other countries around the world.

Past trips have included destinations in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Panama. For upcoming trips, see below.

If you’re in one of our global cities and would like more information about how to engage locally, please contact leaderimpact@cru.org.

UPCOMING GLOBAL EXCHANGES

If you want to impact a country, you must first reach its leaders. Working together with the local leaders of Urabá, Colombia to establish a sustainable platform to connect marketplace leaders is a wonderful opportunity! As a member of this team you will be involved in social interactions, sector outreaches, business events and one-on-one interactions with Colombian leaders to transform their region.

Colombia is one of the world’s seventeen megadiverse countries; it has the second-highest level of biodiversity in the world. Its territory encompasses the Amazon rainforest, highlands, grasslands and deserts. It is the only country in South America with coastlines (and islands) along both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Colombia is also the largest Spanish-speaking country in South America. Urabá is a sub-region in northwest Colombia, bordering Panama and the Caribbean Sea, known for its diverse landscapes, including beaches, rainforests, and fertile agricultural lands. The economy here is based on bananas, plantain, corn, cassava, cocoa, wood and livestock. Because it is near the Caribbean Sea and to the center of the country, the government is encouraging industrialization in this region.

This opportunity is designed to increase your leadership confidence, build relationships with leaders in Colombia and Canada, and to inspire you to make a difference back in your own city. We hope that you will join us in Urabá for this life changing experience.
