Business for Diplomatic Action and The Brookings Institution Host Working Meeting Series:
Toward Establishing An Independent
Corporation for Public Diplomacy
Friday, June 27th Washington, DC
Monday, July 28th Los Angeles, CA
Business for Diplomatic Action and The Brookings Institution, in collaboration with the Public Diplomacy Council and with the encouragement of the Secure Borders Open Doors Advisory Committee of the Departments of State and Homeland Security, are convening a series of working meetings in New York, Washington and Los Angeles to discuss the establishment of an independent Corporation for Public Diplomacy. This concept was first advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations in 2002, and similar ideas have recently been supported by organizations such as the Center for Strategic & International Studies, the Secure Borders Open Doors Advisory Committee of the Departments of State and Homeland Security, and the Defense Science Board. Recommendations from these organizations are summarized below.
“Create an independent, not-for-profit ‘Corporation for Public Diplomacy’ to bridge the gap between public- and private-sector initiatives.” Council on Foreign Relations, Public Diplomacy: A Strategy for Reform, July 2002
“Establish a new institution for international knowledge and communication … as a non-profit, non-governmental entity….” Center for Strategic & International Studies, The Smart Power Report: A Smarter, More Secure America, November 2007
“…Create an independent, non-profit, and non-partisan Center for Global Engagement.”
Defense Science Board, Final Report of the Task Force on Strategic Communication, January 2008
“The responsibility for creating, conducting and evaluating most public diplomacy programs should be … housed in a new quasi-governmental entity, the Corporation for Public Diplomacy.”
Secure Borders Open Doors Advisory Committee, Preserving Our Welcome to the World in an Age of Terrorism: Report of the Secure Borders and Open Doors Advisory Committee, January 2008
While many agree on the need for an entity such as a Corporation for Public Diplomacy, some have not yet had the opportunity to consider this important question. Moreover, there needs to be more discussion about how such an organization might be structured and function in the future. The first meeting in New York on June 18th is intended to build a consensus among key constituencies as to the type of organization that needs to be established, and to develop guidelines for the drafting of a business plan that will bring this organization to life. Similar meetings will be held in Washington DC on June 27th, and Los Angeles on July 28th.
Specifically, this meeting will focus on finding general agreement about the following issues concerning a new “Corporation for Public Diplomacy” or similar entity:
· The mission and vision of the entity: How a public/private partnership in public diplomacy should work
· Its roles and responsibilities: Where to draw the line between purely public and purely private programs and initiatives
· Its relationship with key stakeholders: What guidelines for reporting and accountability to the U.S. government and private contributors, and principles for selecting the Board of Directors, should be established

The panelists will discuss topics such as the forms and outcomes of public diplomacy used by the United States in the last 60 years; the relationships between foreign policy and public diplomacy during that period; and the impact international businesses has had on cross-cultural understanding and the creation of the "flat world." What role does international education play in building understanding across cultures and national boundaries? What is the future of public diplomacy in the 21st century?

invites you to a discussion of:
Private Sector Plans for Public Diplomacy
Lessons for Re-Branding America from the World of Global Marketing
Friday, December 15, 2006
9:30 – 11.30 a.m.
CSIS B1 Conference Level
1800 K Street NW
**This Event is Open to the Media
Anti-Americanism is still rising around the world, presenting a long-term threat to U.S. global business interests. Government public diplomacy efforts have done little to counter the trend, and the private sector is now increasingly seeking to conduct its own “private public diplomacy” to help raise America’s international standing. The initiative to “re-brand” America and engage the private sector in public diplomacy is based largely on experience gained by corporations in global marketing, communications, and public relations over many years. Some of the principal supporters of the initiative will explain and discuss their plans with an audience of corporate, government and media representatives and other interested experts.
Participants Include:
Reginald Dale, coordinator of the Transatlantic Media Network and Senior Fellow, Europe Program, CSIS
Keith Reinhard, President of Business for Diplomatic Action, Chairman Emeritus, DDB Worldwide
Harris Diamond, CEO of Weber Shandwick
Gary Knell, President and CEO of Sesame Workshop

“Americans have no culture.” In most of the world, this statement raises neither eyebrows nor objections: people simply assume that violent, vulgar, vitriolic entertainment is a true expression of life in the United States. It was not always this way, so how did this come to pass? Drawing on the research for her new book The Ugly Americans: How Not to Lose the Global Culture War (forthcoming, Yale University Press), Martha Bayles will look at both sides of the story: not just the downsizing of U.S. cultural diplomacy, but also the skyrocketing export of an increasingly debased popular culture. She will argue that in the war of ideas against radical jihad, culture is no frill. On the contrary, it is mainly through culture that one group of people judges the humanity of another.
Martha Bayles writes for The Weekly Standard, New York Sun, Wilson Quarterly, Wall Street Journal, Claremont Review of Books, and many other publications. Her blog, “Serious Popcorn,” can be found at ArtsJournal.com. She is the author of two books: Hole In Our Soul: The Loss of Beauty and Meaning in American Popular Music and Ain’t It a Shame? Censorship and the Culture of Transgression. She is currently on the faculty of the Honors Program at Boston College and a visiting fellow at the Aspen Institute Berlin.

Polling data suggests that our government’s policies are criticized internationally, and that our corporations are often viewed as focusing too much on the bottom line. Yet our products are eagerly consumed, our scientific and medical achievements lauded, admission to our universities coveted and our freedoms admired around the world. Presenters will examine this dichotomy as they discuss differences between individual cultural and life experiences across the globe and the need to appreciate and respect those differences. Open dialogue and Q&A encouraged.

For a wide range of reasons the image and reputation of the United States has declined overseas, even among its allies. The concept of globalization is not universally embraced, and American companies can often be perceived as perpetrators of unfair labor and economic practices that hurt local communities. But many global corporations that are based in the US take seriously their role as agents for improving the reputation of the US overseas, and are working towards meaningful programs to do just that. For this web cast, we have invited leaders at the forefront of these initiatives to share how American companies can participate fully in this process, and effect real changes around the world.

For good or bad, CEOs are often the embodiment of their organizations culture and reputation.
How CEOs use their visibility through words, actions, and decisions sets the ultimate tone inside and outside of the company, and its a tone that really cant be altered from any other point in the organization. Despite what a company might say in its PR and recruiting materials, its the CEO that employees, media, and the public take their cues from.
Join your colleagues and our panel to discuss effective strategies for corporate communication professionals in reputation management.
