The American Council on Germany (ACG) is an independent, nonpartisan nonprofit organization that was founded in 1952 to strengthen German-American relations.

CONFERENCES AND OTHER OUTREACHThe ACG regularly organizes policy conferences to bring together policymakers, business leaders, journalists, academics, and analysts to share their expertise and exchange perspectives on issues of contemporary concern. These conferences promote transatlantic understanding and strive to facilitate more effective policy coordination. The conferences have both taken a wide view of transatlantic relations and have focused on specific issues ranging from smart cities or health care to NATOs role and Russia or the global financial crisis. Following the conferences, participants often look to create practical policy solutions to complex problems.In addition to events and activities, the ACG engages in outreach to its members and the community at large through traditional and new media to keep them informed about the myriad of issues affecting the German-American relationship and transatlantic affairs. In addition to a series of publications, the ACG produces a weekly compilation of opinion pieces and analysis as well as a monthly newsletter.

YOUNG LEADERS CONFERENCESThe American Council on Germany reaches out to the next generation of decision-makers and opinion leaders from academia, business, government, media, and the non-profit sector by organizing conferences to familiarize them with key transatlantic issues. These conferences also enable these representatives from the successor generation to establish a network of contacts at home and on the other side of the Atlantic. The main goals of the ACGs Young Leaders programs are to provide a forum for bright, informed, and sophisticated young professionals to discuss major issues in an informal setting; to encourage participants to deal frankly with the issues on their own terms; to explore and debate their differences and common interests; and to create an enduring community of leaders who are engaged and committed to strengthening the transatlantic partnership. The annual week-long American-German Young Leaders Conferences bring together up to 50 Germans and Americans. The relationships formed during the Young Leaders brief time together serve as a valuable investment in the transatlantic relationship. Alumni have gone on to become high-ranking members of the U.S. and German governments; Congress and the Bundestag; the European Parliament; local city governments; military leaders; and editorial writers. The ACG continues to remain in touch with the alumni from its Young Leaders programs by offering substantive events and networking opportunities.

POLICY DISCUSSIONSThe American Council on Germany (ACG) is the leading U.S.-based forum forstrengthening German-American relations. It delivers a deep and nuanced understanding of why Germany matters to the United States, because the only way to understand contemporary Europe is to understand Germany's role within Europe and around the world. And, the only way to understand contemporary Germany is to put it in a European context.The ACG examines German-American relations on three levels: the bilateral relationship, the ties between Europe and the United States, and how the transatlantic partnership can meet global challenges. In addition to German and U.S. domestic politics and U.S. and European foreign policy, the ACG covers a wide swath of economic, political, and social issues of common concern on both sides of the Atlantic. By examining the issues facing Europe and the United States, the ACG is able to provide insights and analysis of policy choices on both sides of the Atlantic.Through a range of events and activities in New York City and at its Eric M. Warburg Chapters across the country, the ACG provides businesspeople, policymakers, journalists, academics, and tomorrow's leaders with insights into German and European affairs. The ACG hosts between 40 and 50 events in New York each year featuring prominent government officials, analysts, and other influential figures in larger, lecture-style events as well as smaller, high-level briefings. The ACG co-sponsors a regular series on the Transatlantic Global Agenda and offers a Political Salon series of events tailored to the interests of younger and mid-career professionals. In addition, the Council hosts special lectures as part of its McCloy Lecture Series, Arthur F. Burns Memorial Lecture, and the Garrick Utley Lecture Series on Global Media Issues.In 1992, the ACG launched its national outreach through a network of Eric M. Warburg Chapters. There are Chapters in 21 cities: Atlanta, Boca Raton, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Madison, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Nashville, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and greater Washington DC. Through its Chapters the ACG encourages discussion and the exchange of ideas concerning Germany and European affairs in communities across the country. The ACG has made a concerted effort to engage students and faculty at local high schools and universities in many Chapter cities. Government officials, politicians, business leaders, journalists, academics, and policy analysts have been among those to speak at Chapter events.
