“One of the best educational/training experiences I’ve had in my 38+ years of federal service (not just at State, but also at DoD and the IC).”

“I have taken several courses at FSI and this was honestly the best course I have ever taken.  David does an amazing job keeping the class engaged and thinking.”

“Preparation of instructors is top-notch. One of the best courses I have taken at FSI and a great toolkit to impart on participants before we go to post.”

“My favorite course so far at FSI.  Excellent information on a complex topic of the utmost importance of which I had little understanding prior to the course”

“This course was fantastic. It should be a standard part of any Pol/Econ officer's training… Best FSI class I've ever taken and it isn't even close.”

“Fantastic mix of speakers and activities.  So happy with the diversity of perspectives- great to have interagency participants.  Would love to attend an extended course.”
