Mexican American Leadership Initiative (MALI)
The Mexican American Leadership Initiative (MALI) of The U.S.-Mexico Foundation was founded in 2010 and is based on the belief that Americans of Mexican heritage are in a unique position to engage with Mexicoโs civil society. Americans of Mexican heritage have a particular role to play in encouraging broad support and engagement by U.S. society, leaders and institutions in partnering with Mexico at every level for the benefit of both countries.
These individuals have achieved positions of influence in American society and continue to advance in many areas. Through the MALI program, we intend to foster systemic engagement on the part of Mexican American leaders with Mexico and on issues affecting the U.S. relationship with Mexico.
