The Council was part of of the professional exchange initiative of the United States Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP). Visitors were selected by American Foreign Officers overseas, and included representatives from government, politics, the media. education, the arts, public health, business and trade, and other fields. In 1973, ACIV merged with the Atlanta International Student Bureau. In 1986, ACIV was renamed the Georgia Council for International Visitors, which maintains an office in Atlanta.
