What We Do

Elevate Best-In-Class National Security Leaders Who Reflect The Diversity of America
Modernize National Security Institutions
Promote Principled American Global Engagement
Fortify Domestic Foundations of America’s Global Strength

The national security field does not reflect the diversity of America, which makes America less secure. Truman is the leading national security membership organization that attracts, trains and uplifts early- and mid-career national security professionals.

National security institutions are resistant to change and often fail to adapt to new realities. Truman’s inside/outside perspective - in our community we have people currently working in national security institutions, veterans of those institutions, and seasoned observers of them - gives us an ability to make recommendations for modernization and then see them through.

For nearly 20 years Truman has been a leading voice in promoting a values-based foreign policy, from inside and outside of Washington. Truman promotes principled American global engagement through its programming and members’ own diverse activities inside and outside of government.

There is newfound urgency to domestic democratic renewal. Many Truman members are engaged in this field in their personal or professional capacity, and many bring global expertise and experience that can be relevant at home. Truman is positioned to be a thought and action leader at the intersection of domestic and foreign policy.

SPOTLIGHT:

Statement on the Israel-Hamas War and the Impact in the United States

The ramifications of the ongoing violence in Israel and Gaza are extending far beyond the region. Jewish, Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian communities in many countries, including in the United States, are living in fear. Unsure of who they can trust and where they can turn for support and protection, people are afraid for their own safety and the safety of their families. Many are afraid to speak their views for fear of retaliation or harm.
