Who We Are

The Foreign Policy 250 Forum (FP250) prepares current and next‑generation American leaders to understand and navigate an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world. Through rigorous intellectual engagement, strategic dialogue, and exposure to global policy environments, the Forum cultivates leaders capable of engaging effectively in multilateral diplomacy, interpreting complex geopolitical dynamics, and advancing American interests with clarity and responsibility.

FP250 shapes a rising generation of policymakers, diplomats, and strategic thinkers who can operate confidently in international spaces—whether negotiating within multilateral institutions, building coalitions across regions, or strengthening global cooperation in an era marked by fragmentation and rapid change. By grounding participants in historical insight, strategic foresight, and practical diplomatic skill, the Forum contributes to a more resilient, globally engaged American leadership prepared to steward the nation’s role in the world over the next century.

Cultivating America’s Next Generation of Global Leaders

We are a national incubator for leadership excellence — preparing young Americans to lead not only domestically but across multilateral, global, and cooperative systems.

Our Leadership

Our team is a collective of thinkers, builders, and conveners committed to shaping America’s future leadership landscape. We operate at the intersection of global education, diplomacy, public sector, private sector, and nonprofits— bringing together expertise that spans public policy, international affairs, leadership, economic strategy, and youth leadership development.

We are united by a single mandate: to cultivate America’s next generation of global leaders capable of navigating a multilateral century.
