The Benefits of Council Programs

ECD programs incorporate history, current public policy and practical knowledge for those who work on international topics.

Program participants include representatives of embassies, international organizations, corporations, associations, non-governmental organizations and educational institutions. 

Representatives of the American government and experts from various professions interact with program participants, analyzing policy options, how decisions are made, and likely outcomes.  Speakers and panelists present a wide range of viewpoints.

The Council’s programming format helps establish a creative dialogue which serves as a foundation for strong working relationships and lasting friendships.
