First formed in 2011, the Diplomatic Advisory Council (DAC) is an informal body of current Ambassadors serving in the nation’s capital and provides a direct outreach to our strategic allies abroad. All of our programming benefits from the input, guidance, and participation we receive from members of the DAC. Embassy engagement is top-to-bottom, with opportunities for collaboration spanning from Ambassador-hosted events to involvement of policy-centric staff in conversations we host in Washington.
