Product overview

The National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP) is a nonpartisan nonprofit policy organization that operates as a single integrated offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Its core product is diplomatic dialogue facilitation through Track I 1/2 and Track II diplomacy programs, supported by public education programs, member-exclusive roundtables, and annual gala awards. The organization delivers three distinct Emerging Leaders Programs (Northern Ireland, Korean Peninsula Specialists) that function as specialized sub-brands within its programmatic portfolio. All programs generate outputs including published reports, edited volumes, and podcasts. The Forum on Asia-Pacific Security serves as the thematic umbrella for regional security programming.
