Previous Summit of the Americas work
The Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center
The Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center (AALAC) and the US Department of State (DOS) prioritize the inclusion of all countries from across the Americas, including Caribbean nations that have historically been under-represented as part of the Summit planning process. AALAC’s Caribbean Initiative is uniquely poised to draw on regional perspectives, putting smaller and larger states in the same virtual room to rethink the hemisphere’s future.
The Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center broadens understanding of regional transformations and delivers constructive, results-oriented solutions to inform how the public and private sectors can advance hemispheric prosperity.
