The Americas Project
is a joint
undertaking of the Organization of American States (OAS), the Baker Institute at Rice
University, and the Greater Houston Partnership (GHP), which recognizes the best and the
brightest in leadership in the countries of the hemisphere, in a wide variety of fields,
including political, economic and cultural. The three co-sponsors of this Project consider
it one of the most important international initiatives undertaken in recent years.
The colloquiums take
place at the Baker Institute of Rice University in Houston, Texas and consist of
interactive seminars for the participants and lectures by distinguished speakers.
- The main objectives of the
"Americas Project" are to promote better understanding among the young leaders
of the Americas, to increase and foster the exchange of ideas and information among these
individuals and to provide the basis for a viable network among them.
- The individuals selected to
participate in this project must be from an OAS member state between the ages of 25 to 40
and must demonstrate significant achievements in their careers, leadership qualities, and
ability to have an impact on society.
