Members of the Council on Foreign Relations

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Æthereal (talk | contribs) at 15:52, 29 October 2021 (→‎Board of directors: Reif info + ref.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Membership in the Council on Foreign Relations comes in two types: Individual; and Corporate. Individual memberships are further subdivided into two types: Life Membership; and Term Membership, which is for a single period of five years and is available to those between the ages of 30 and 36 at the time of their application. Only U.S. citizens (native born or naturalized) and permanent residents who have applied for U.S. citizenship are eligible. A candidate for life membership must be nominated in writing by one Council member and seconded by a minimum of three others (strongly encouraged to be other CFR members).[1]

Corporate membership (250 in total) is divided into three levels: "Founders" (US$100,000); "President's Circle" (US$60,000); and "Affiliates" (US$30,000). All corporate executive members have opportunities to hear distinguished speakers, such as overseas presidents and prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs of multinational corporations, and US officials and Congressmen. President's Circle and Founders are also entitled to other benefits, including attendance at small, private dinners or receptions with senior American officials and world leaders.[2]
