Why This Program Matters Now The United States workforce and international affairs field at large is facing major challenges in addressing diversity in recruiting and retention efforts. The Madam Ambassador Program (MAP) supports the preparation and exposure of diverse students for career paths in the U.S. foreign service and the international affairs field. The challenge of lack of funding for programs threatens the existence of programs such as Madam Ambassador that are committed to increasing and preparing broad talent pools in our field. Our post-program evaluation highlights the impact and exposure of the program learning objectives. In January 2023, BPIA launched the first cohort of the Madam Ambassador International Affairs Career Exposure Program. This program educates a group of young ladies ages 13-21.
