The Congressional Office for International Leadership was originally known as the Open World Leadership Center, established in 1999 to facilitate exchanges primarily with Russia. In 2022, it was renamed to better reflect its broader mission of international leadership development and its service to Congress. This rebranding was enacted under Public Law No. 117-103. COIL has since expanded its outreach to include other countries in the post-Soviet region and beyond. | The Congressional Office for International Leadership was originally known as the Open World Leadership Center, established in 1999 to facilitate exchanges primarily with Russia.
