The Annual International Institute on Government
and Democracy is the brain child of Dr. C. Dexter Wise
III. After several trips abroad and many conversations
with elected officials and community leaders from
around the world, he has created this unique institute to
link leaders from around the world with their
counterparts in the US to facilitate an exchange of ideas
and best practices which can foster change, growth and
development in developing nations around the world.
While officials of all nations are welcome, leaders of
democratic nations or those transitioning to a
democratic form of government are the target.

During this time, a limited number of elected officials from abroad will be exposed to and immersed in the
American system of business and government. Participants in this Institute will visit local, state and federal
American centers of government, a major University campus and more. They will also personally hear, meet
and have access to outstanding US elected officials and community leaders.
the iigd experience:
immersion
IIGD is more than a mere meeting. It is a gathering of international influential political, business, religious and community leaders who have the power to change the world.
For one week, they converge upon Columbus, OH which is in the center of Ohio which is itself in the heart of America.
