Shortly afterwards, it launched an alliance of alumni associations known as the Ryder Club. One of its benefits has been to provide a wider pool of people for each organization\u00b4s activities. &nbsp;A major joint activity of Ryder is a dinner with every new U.S. ambassador.&nbsp; The J.W. Fulbright association welcomes the members of other associations to its activities listed on the website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asoc-fulbright.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.asoc-fulbright.es<\/a>. On the occasion of the association\u00b4s 20th anniversary a book was published. It includes articles in English and testimonies by U.S. Fulbright alumni about how they benefited from the association\u00b4s support.&nbsp; It may be downloaded at <a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\/asoc-fulbright\/docs\/libro-fulbright-20-aniversario\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/issuu.com\/asoc-<wbr>fulbright\/docs\/libro-<\/wbr><wbr>fulbright-20-aniversario.<\/wbr><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bienvenido a la Asociaci\u00f3n de Ex-Becarios J.
