Founded in 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations offers elected five-year Term Memberships through the Stephen M. Kellen Term Member Program.  The Stephen M. Kellen Term Member Program, established to cultivate the next generation of foreign policy leaders, encourages promising young leaders from diverse backgrounds to engage in a sustained conversation on international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. The term members enjoy a full range of activities, including events with high-profile speakers, an annual Term Member Conference, roundtables, trips to financial and governmental institutions around the country, and one week-long study trip abroad every two years.
