The programs provide a comfortable, neutral environment where current and future business leaders, including those who work in the non-profit sector, in trade associations, and within the advocacy community, can meet and exchange information with each other and with past and current policymakers, through formal educational sessions as well as informal networking.

The complete course includes: pre-readings, course sessions and activities, a final written exam on the last day, and a team project due two weeks after the course is completed.
