Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO IMPROVE THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF FOREIGN SERVICES OFFICERS AND THEIR CIVIL SERVICE COLLEAGUES AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE FOREIGN SERVICE INSTITUTE (FSI) WHICH PRIORITIZES USING FUNDS RAISED BY THE FOUNDATION TO ESTABLISH INNOVATIVE PILOT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BRINGING RETIRED DIPLOMATS BACK TO TEACH AT FSI AS WELL AS SUPPORTING EVALUATION OF COURSES AND SUBSEQUENT OFFICER PERFORMANCE. WE NOT ONLY WORK WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT ITSELF, BUT WE COLLABORATE WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES TO LEARN ABOUT THE TACTICS THEY EMPLOYED TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN TRAINING PRACTICES. IN THE WORDS OF AMBASSADOR DANIEL SMITH, THE DIRECTOR OF FSI, "THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE SIMPLY CAN'T DO WITH THE RESOURCES WE HAVE, AND I THINK [THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH] THE US DIPLOMATIC STUDIES FOUNDATION WILL ENABLE US TO DO THOSE THINGS IN A WAY THAT WE MAY HAVE NEVER ENVISIONED BEFORE. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS INSTITUTION."
TO IMPROVE THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF FOREIGN SERVICES OFFICERS (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)AND THEIR CIVIL SERVICE COLLEAGUES AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT TRAININGTHE US DIPLOMATIC STUDIES FOUNDATION SPENT A YEAR VISITING VARIOUS OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR BEST TRAINING AND EDUCATION PRACTICES. A KEY TO SUCCESS IDENTIFIED ACROSS THE BOARD WAS PUTTING TIME AND RESOURCES INTO LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING. THUS DSF IS WORKING WITH BUSINESS SCHOOLS TO CREATE A ROBUST TRAINING MODULE FOCUSED ON LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE AN OFFSITE, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TRAINING PROGRAM THAT INCLUDES CLASSROOM AND EXTERNAL TEACHING SESSIONS, CASE STUDIES, AND SEMINARS BUILT TO DELIVER UNIQUE CONTENT IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT FSI PROGRAMS THAT WILL ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, AND SKILLS OF EMERGING STATE DEPARTMENT LEADERS TO PREPARE THEM FOR POSITIONS OF GREATER RESPONSIBILITY. THE TARGET AUDIENCE WILL BE TEN TO FIFTEEN EMERGING DEPARTMENT LEADERS PER COURSE DRAWN FROM FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICERS AND CIVIL SERVANTS WORKING TOWARD SERVING OR CURRENTLY SERVING AS DCM, HEAD OF POLITICAL SECTION, DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY, ASSISTANT SECRETARY, AMBASSADOR OR SIMILAR DUTIES.
