Members
The Dialogue's most important asset is its membership of 100 outstanding public and private leaders from the United States, Canada, and 22 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean--including political, business, academic, media, and other non-governmental leaders. Sixteen Dialogue members served as presidents of their countries, over three dozen have served at the cabinet level, and seventeen have held seats in congress. Twenty per cent are in the business or finance sectors. Seven members are associated with the media and nine with universities. Dialogue members are an intellectually and politically diverse group, which includes Republicans and Democrats from the United States, and views from across the political spectrum in Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Members are united by their commitment to democratic principles, social equity, regional economic cooperation, and free and vigorous discussion.
