One hundred twenty-six high school exchange students from the countries
of the former Soviet Union converged on Washington, DC, from U.S. host
communities across the nation to attend a civic education workshop and
celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program,
February 22-28. Three FLEX alumni from Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Armenia
joined them and were exemplars of leadership and achievement.
The students and alumni met with Department of State officials and Members
of Congress. A highlight of the week's events was a Capital Hill reception
on February 26, co-hosted by Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural
Affairs Patricia Harrison and Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN), a strong advocate
of the FLEX program.
