The Una Chapman Cox Foundation is dedicated to a strong professional U.S. Foreign Service. In collaboration with the Department of State and other program partners, it supports excellence in recruitment, professional development and public awareness. The Foundation serves this mission through programs that enhance the recruitment, professionalism and effectiveness of the U.S. Foreign Service, improve the well-being and retention of its best employees and their families, and increase public knowledge and understanding of the Foreign Service and its role in supporting U.S. interests.

Meet one of our 2020-2021 Fellows, Claire Smolik. Claire is spending her sabbatical year developing the “Foreign Service Families as Diplomats” exhibit. The exhibit will spotlight Foreign Service families, highlighting their contributions to American representation abroad and demystify the Foreign Service experience for the next generation of Officers.
We’re proud to announce our partnership with AAD on two great podcasts: “The General and the Ambassador: A Conversation” and “American Diplomat: Real Stories Behind the News.” Through these podcasts, listeners get an inside look into what diplomacy is and what it looks like on the ground, straight from the diplomats and US agency officials that make it happen.
