Mission Statement
Network 20/20 builds foreign policy understanding in young and mid-career leaders. We provide briefings by leading foreign policy experts in intimate settings, conduct on-the-ground research in countries where there is a need for deeper understanding, and encourage networking among the group and with counterparts abroad. With its diverse, multinational membership and access to leading experts, Network 20/20 provides a forum for an informed and engaged understanding of foreign policy.
About This Cause
Network 20/20 was established in the wake of the September 11 attacks to further a deeper understanding of foreign affairs. As nationalism and isolationism increase, the need for frank and informed discussion of global affairs that involves both the private and public sectors grows stronger. Initially, Network 20/20 focused on bridging the divide between the United States and countries with Muslim-majority populations, fielding research delegations to Turkey, Pakistan, and Iran. The organization’s Entrepreneurial Diplomacy Program has expanded to include countries and regions that are often overlooked. These research trips and ensuing reports prove that you cannot understand the dynamics of a country without being physically present and without speaking to a wide range of leaders. Network 20/20’s Briefing Series with foreign policy luminaries—often held in private homes—addresses current global issues. These events stimulate learning, discussion and networking, advancing the belief that foreign policy should be accessible and vibrant, not esoteric and stuffy. Founded in 2003 by Dr. Patricia S. Huntington, Network 20/20’s goal was to build bridges between the next generation of leaders in the United States and their counterparts abroad. The organization was initially part of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy before it became a separate entity to help up-and-coming leaders across a range of professions expand their global views and involvement. Today, Network 20/20’s membership is intentionally multinational and multi-generational, ensuring that its programs and dialogue reflect multiple viewpoints and generate unique networking opportunities. It is made up of professionals from a wide array of organizations such as Barnk of America, Cranemere, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Fitch Ratings, United Nations, Financial Times, IBM, New York University, NBC Universal. Network 20/20 prides itself on being a diverse group from several countries including China, France, Germany, Georgia, Iran, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Zimbabwe.
