Who are members of the Council’s Corporate Program?
The Council’s Corporate membership includes approximately 250 U.S. and international firms representing nearly all business sectors, including financial services, law, energy, consulting, technology, pharmaceuticals, and media.
Many benefits are available through Corporate membership, and vary according to a company’s level of membership in the Council’s Corporate Program.
Executives from Corporate member companies receive invitations to attend Corporate Program events in New York and Washington, as well as interactive conference calls with senior fellows, authors of lead articles in Foreign Affairs, and other prominent experts. Executives may also receive invitations to exclusive briefings with key leaders and participate in small, in-depth study groups and roundtables.
Corporate members also have access to Council experts who are among the best in their fields. Of special interest to Corporate members is the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies, which focuses on the linkages between economics and foreign policy, national security, and other areas of interest to the private sector.
Additionally, Corporate members enjoy access to the Council’s exclusive Corporate website and state-of-the-art reference services and library (by appointment), multiple subscriptions to Foreign Affairs, and special member rates for rental of the renowned Harold Pratt House meeting facilities.
Each Corporate member company designates one executive to serve as a liaison between the company and the Council. This liaison or “primary contact” provides vital information to the Council about company interests and needs which allows the Council to enhance its communication with the member and tailor resources and services to customize the membership priorities. The primary contact also identifies executives to receive invitations to Council events and subscriptions to Foreign Affairs, assists with registration questions, and may nominate executives to participate in special Council activities.
Executives may access a listing of upcoming events in the members’ only section of the Council’s Corporate Program website. In addition, invitations for Council events are sent via email to select designated executives at Corporate member companies, and a monthly Corporate e-newsletter also highlights upcoming events, past programs, and areas of the Council’s work that may be of special interest to Corporate members.

Briefing on The Future of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement received renewed attention from President Obama after the most recent APEC summit, where many viewed it as a key economic milestone for U.S. relations in the Asia Pacific region. However, potential resistance from Congress and China's looming economic presence could pose problems for the future of the agreement. In advance of the next round of negotiations, join Barbara Weisel as she discusses the future of the TPP, including the opportunities and challenges-economic, political, and others--and their impact on business. The roundtable will also serve as an opportunity for Ms. Weisel to solicit input from executives on the role of business in the TPP.. At CFR in Washington.
