      <MissionDesc>Founded in 1978, the Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange (Franklin Center) is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to enhancing global understanding of important international issues. The Franklin Center brings together members of the U.S. Congress and their international parliamentary counterparts as well as experts from the diplomatic corps, foreign officials, senior private sector representatives, scholars, and other public policy experts. Through conferences and events where leading international opinion leaders share ideas, the Franklin Center promotes enlightened, balanced, and unbiased international policy discussion on major international issues.</MissionDesc>

      <Desc>Public Policy and Dialogue: Providing educational events which further awareness of public policy issues. The Center holds forums to present timely discussions on national and international issues of concern to policy makers and members, or to build upon policy discussions from the most recent Capital to Capital exchange, in London, England. Discussions are held in Washington, DC and bring together experts to address the group and include an exchange of ideas. In 2023, we held 48 in-person events with vigorous discussion and participation by the attendees. We organized policy tours at Mount Rushmore and surrounding national parks. The Center also hosts the Capital to Capital Exchange which brings together US Congressional leaders, member of the diplomatic community, corporate policy experts, scholars, parliamentarians, government leaders, and business leaders from a host country where the conference is held to discuss pressing international issues. By discussing issues such as international trade, energy, transportation, health, security, etc., policy makers gain a greater understanding of the global challenges facing the US and other countries. August 7-11, 2023, Capital to Capital Exchange was held in London, England.</Desc>
