Participants attend off-the-record events with former senior officials to learn their perspectives on current foreign policy and national security problems. CPP students also receive negotiation training, engage in expert-led crisis simulations, and complete a project requiring them to work in bipartisan groups to formulate common-ground policy approaches to a current, relevant problem. In 2016 PSA ran two courses of the Congressional Partnership Program (CPP), each over 3 months. In addition, PSA hosted eight CPP alumni dinners with speakers including Gen. Michael, Gen. David Patraeus, Sec. Madeleine Albright and Amb. Robert Gallucci who offered expert perspectives and guidance on tackling current issues of national concern facing American policymakers; hosted three dinners on US-China relations and a 10-day Contgressional Staff Delegation to China in conjunction with the US-Asia Institute for select CPP alumni; convened a small roundtable for select CPP alumni to discuss policy options for addressing the Zika crisis. 166924 0 0 In 2016, with funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, PSA convened the third and final meeting of an international working group of former high-level civil servants and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials.

The goals of the organization are to heighten public awareness of and support for a bipartisan national security and foreign policy; to bring leading Democrats and Republicans together to seek common ground in national security and foreign policy; and to accomplish the above tasks through the use of the most effective tools of modern communications. To achieve these goals PSA develops and seeks bipartisan consensus on a series of national security and foreign policy issues; works to build coalitions to support recreating the bipartisan center in American national security and foreign policy; conducts a national free and paid media campaign using the most sophisticated communication tools based on joint, bipartisan positions; and organizes national events including town hall meetings, conferences, and speaker series to support the bipartisan center in American national security and foreign policy. PSA's work is funded by donations from individuals, support from other publicly supported charities, and grants from foundations who support the PSA mission of advancing bipartisanship on national security and foreign policy challenges. PSA is a small organization with no investment revenue. The insignificant interest income is funneled back into program activities. All the activities outlined in the Statement of Program Service Accomplishments support the goals of the organization and are necessary to achieve the mission of bipartisanship on current critical national security and foreign policy challenges. General and administrative expenses are minimal, at two tenths of one percent of total expenses, in order to push as much revenue as possible toward the mission related activities. PSA continually works to broaden its donor base and increase support from the public.
