International Visitors Center
of Chicago and FF of C enjoy a strategic partnership. IVCC looks to our members to serve as home hosts and dinner hosts
for many of their participants coming to Chicago. IVCC arranges visits for educators, not for profits, NGP's, etc. coming
to Chicago under the auspices of the State Dept. and Library of Congress and Open World Leadership Program. These visitors
have full days of professional programs arranged by IVCC but some of them request home hosting to enrich their experience.
