60 years of history, trust & partnerships
An unparalleled forum for senior diplomatic, business & policy leaders to build mutual understanding and strengthen approaches to global challenges
We believe that lasting, personal connections founded on trust and bolstered by open exchange are more necessary now than ever, and we envision the ECD as a catalyst for building understanding and strengthening approaches to challenges that cut across the worlds of business, diplomacy, and policy.
Connecting Leaders
ECD is dedicated to enriching the knowledge of Diplomats in Washington D.C. by providing a platform that goes beyond traditional networking. Through engaging events, we prioritize education, offering insightful discussions led by diverse speakers. Our goal is to empower Ambassadors with a deeper understanding of American political, economic, social, and cultural dynamics, fostering informed perspectives and meaningful connections.
Cultivating future generations
ECD programs engage ambassadors and involve next generation leaders from across the diplomatic corps.
In partnership with the U.S. Department of State, the ECD administers the Lawrence S. Eagleburger Fellowship, offering U.S. Foreign Service Officers valuable first hand experience of business operations through year-long training assignments in the private sector.
