2018 Affairs of State Sponsors
YPFP's Burst Your Bubble campaign would not be possible without the generous support of these sponsors.
This year YPFP is bursting bubbles in foreign policy!
This year’s Affairs of State gala and fundraiser is part of a broader campaign to bring diverse topics, people, and places to the foreign policy ecosystem. Our programs will challenge the traditional constructs of foreign policy and transcend the hyper-polarized political environment to preserve a space for civil discourse while focusing on what matters most – building a generation of skilled leaders who are best-equipped and best-networked to tackle the most profound issues of our time.
From September to November, we held service events, innovative panel discussions, dinner and dialogue events, and fireside chats with inspirational leaders.
Affairs of State gala and fundraiser took place on Saturday, November 10. Check out our video to see the fun times we had!
