ILG Alumni Network
The ILG Alumni Network is a student-led initiative that serves to unite and connect all ILG alumni throughout the years and foster links with other Georgetown University's Latin America Leadership Program alumni. The network aims to promote governability and innovation in the region by organizing and hosting local events and strengthening collaboration amongst alumni beyond their time at Georgetown.
Since its inception in 2014, the Innovation and Leadership in Government Program (ILG) has equipped 139 public managers from 18 Latin American countries with analytical frameworks and tools to generate and implement innovative public policies in their respective countries.

Generating a synergy of ideas at a global level and acting locally is what unites participants throughout the program." — Ignacio Maldonado Yonna, Department of Coordination and Planning, Corrientes Province, Argentina
