• The Diplomatic Program

  September 1, 1999 - Present

  The Diplomatic Program positions the Council as an important resource for the diplomatic community by fostering exchange between foreign representatives and American business, political and academic leaders.  The embassies, in turn, provide valuable insights on U.S. foreign policy, how it affects their countries, and how it is perceived abroad. It is the goal that these dialogues will lead to better, more informed policy—both at home and abroad.

  The Council engages Washington’s diplomatic community through a number of avenues. The monthly Embassy Lunch Series provides a unique opportunity for diplomats and Council members to exchange views on issues affecting bilateral relations in an intimate setting. Roundtable briefings are held for ambassadors and deputy chiefs of mission on pressing foreign policy issues and on recommendations of Council task forces. Finally, the Council extends special invitations to ambassadors to attend select, on-the-record meetings, affording a valuable venue for exchange and interaction with the membership.

  The Think Tank

  The David Rockefeller Studies Program

  The David Rockefeller Studies Program is the Council’s “think tank.” Its work is integral to achieving the Council’s goal of contributing to the foreign policy debate. Fellows in the Studies Program do this by researching, writing, and commenting on the most important challenges facing the United States and the world.
