With a strong and growing coalition in Virginia for a decade, the USGLC works to educate and engage policymakers and community leaders on why investments in development and diplomacy help keep America safe and strengthen Virginia’s economy.

The USGLC’s Virginia Advisory Committee brings together more than 120 business, faith, non-profit, and political leaders who understand how American global leadership matters for Virginia. We’re also proud of Virginia’s Veterans for Smart Power – part of a nationwide network of 30,000 veterans.
