The Idaho Museum of International Diaspora’s (IMID) Global Leadership Council (GLC) serves as a catalyst to expand the reach and impact of the IMID’s mission and vision across the globe, which is to influence positive community transformation by highlighting the lives of diaspora and cultural groups from around the world, and to inspire an international movement of museums and institutions dedicated to diaspora and cultures.

The GLC leads the international efforts to build a global network of cross-sector leaders, academics, policymakers, and practitioners to elevate the relevancy of diasporas and cultures in museums, educational and cultural institutions, corporations, and governments.

The GLC is in process of planning the IMID’s flagship 4-day global conference planned for September 2023 in Slovakia. Speakers will represent at least four geographical regions and come from various industry sectors and backgrounds.
