Description: 

You’ve seen the headlines. You know the federal workforce is under strain. But now we have the data to show just how severe the crisis has become inside the diplomatic workforce.

Please join us on Dec. 3 at 1:00 p.m. ET for the release of our new report “At the Breaking Point: The State of the U.S. Foreign Service in 2025.” The report is grounded in AFSA’s survey of active-duty members conducted earlier this year—one of the most extensive, unfiltered looks at the Service in recent memory. What emerges is a rare, data-driven insiders’ view of a workforce pushed to its limits. And make no mistake: the implications for U.S. diplomacy are both immediate and consequential.

During this launch event, we’ll unveil the full findings and hear directly from the report authors and AFSA leadership as they break down what the data means for the workforce—and for the future of U.S. diplomacy if these trends continue unchecked. This is your chance to engage, challenge, and ask questions during the audience Q&A period.
