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

The USGLC’s Indiana Advisory Committee brings together more than 140 business, faith, non-profit, and political leaders who understand how American global leadership matters for Indiana. We’re also proud of Indiana’s Veterans for Smart Power – part of a nationwide network of 30,000 veterans.

  • Our future depends on our ability to be diplomatic in our developmental efforts. As we continue to see conflicts and natural disasters increase, our communities, cities, states, and nation must be engaged in the world.

  • I can’t help but think of the men and women in my local community that serve this country. They do so for people. Their friends, family and neighbors at home, but also those overseas that need someone to stand up on their behalf.
