Welcome to the Virgin Islands Institute of Development

What is the
Leadership Summit?

The Virgin Islands Leadership Summit is a national leadership forum designed to assemble USVI community stakeholders in the diaspora in thought-provoking deliberations on selected policy issues, aimed at creating a policy agenda for workable solution proposals. The structure of the Summit brings together leaders, scholars and experts from the community, academia, government (local/federal), the private sector, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the U. S. Virgin Islands, the United States and around the globe, in sessions that are deliberative, interactive and provide a focus for action.

Come hear answers to these and other thought-provoking questions (see above slide show) at the premier gathering of experts, scholars and discussion leaders from the Territory and the United States at the 2008 Virgin Islands Leadership Summit on June 26-27, 2008.

This is your opportunity to contribute in the substantive shaping of a policy blueprint for change in these areas.
