Young Professionals
The Young Professionals series is an opportunity for members under the age of forty to engage international newsmakers in an informal setting. These programs facilitate exchange on topics like foreign policy, international business, and cultural issues.
Several events are held each month, including film screenings, small dinners, limited receptions, informal discussions, and international travel. Involvement with Young Professionals offers the opportunity to learn first-hand about the world while interacting with other members who share the same interests.
