Mission and Program Overview

Mission

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.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0COMMERCIAL DIPLOMACY PROGRAMTHE COMMERCIAL DIPLOMACY PROGRAM MADE GREAT STRIDES THIS YEAR, CULMINATING IN THE FIRST COMMERCIAL DIPLOMACY ROUNDTABLE HELD IN DALLAS ON SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2021. OVER A DOZEN SENIOR LEADERS FROM THE DALLAS BUSINESS COMMUNITY CONVENED AT SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY TO CONSIDER HOW U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE HELPED AND HINDERED EXPANSION OF AMERICAN BUSINESS INTERESTS ABROAD. THE ROUNDTABLE OPENED WITH VIRTUAL REMARKS OF SUPPORT FROM TWO MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THIS YEAR MARKED THE TRANSITION FROM A CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT PHASE TO A PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PHASE AND, CRITICALLY, LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE SMU COMMITMENT TO DEVELOP A CENTER WITHIN THE BUSINESS SCHOOL FOCUSED ON COMMERCIAL DIPLOMACY.
