Corporate membership is tailored to meet the needs of your organization.
The Council on Foreign Relations is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher dedicated to being a resource for its members, government officials, business executives, journalists, educators and students, civic and religious leaders, and other interested citizens in order to help them better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries.
The Council on Foreign Relations has assembled a group of fellows second to none in scholarship and productivity. Their publications shape the thinking of policymakers at the highest levels of government and industry, and their participation in Council activities enriches the experience for members.

The Corporate Program serves an international membership comprised of leading global corporations. In addition to the distinct and diverse resources available to Corporate members in the form of CFR.org, publications, and research by in-house experts, CFR regularly hosts high-profile and marquee speakers from around the world. Recent visiting leaders include Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson, and the late Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
You will interact with some of the world's leading minds in business and finance as you focus on important international challenges, alongside thinkers and experts from the government, NGO, media, law, and academic communities.
The annual two-day Corporate Conference, held at the Council's New York headquarters, addresses the most pressing international business concerns. We also offer Corporate Program roundtable series on current global priorities, including China and India, as well as foreign investment and climate change. The popular World Economic Update series provides a quarterly review of geoeconomic trends and concerns. The Corporate Program works closely with the Council's Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies, which takes an interdisciplinary approach to the links among economics, foreign policy, and national security.
In a world facing as many opportunities as challenges, the Council on Foreign Relations provides a vibrant international forum for leaders in both government and industry to share ideas and build understanding. The Council puts the critical human dimension at the center of its efforts, enriching what we can accomplish through our collective power and common purpose.
