An Inteculturally Effective person, as defined by the Centre for Intercultural Learning, is someone who is able to live contentedly and work successfully in another culture. The interculturally effective person has three main attributes: (1) an ability to communicate with people of another culture in a way that earns their respect and trust (2) the capacity to adapt his/her professional skills (both technical and managerial) to fit local conditions and constraints (3) the capacity to adjust personally so that s/he is content and generally at ease in the host culture.

Founder of IAEP, Dr. Debra A. King, returns from Haiti. Dr. Debra A. King and 4 companions of US and Haiti descent travelled to Haiti for a week on a fact finding - relief and relationship mission. The trip was successful and emotionally moving on many levels. The group members agreed that the efforts targeted as Crafts that Cure, the HOPE (Housing Opportunities and Partnerships for Entrepreneurs) Chest, and Bags Full of Love and Friendship can be effective tools to build on-going positive human relationships and opportunities for cross cultural sharing, increased literacy emphasizing reading and using such programs as TESOL, and increased information technology. Dr. King noted that the Haitian nationals indeed had attitudes of gratitude and thus are well on their way toward emotional recovery following the disaster.
