The Camden Conference is member-supported and volunteer-powered

The Camden Conference is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization dedicated to fostering informed discourse on world affairs.

Responsibility for Conference activities is vested in a Board of Directors composed of area citizens actively interested in foreign and public policy. The organization also benefits greatly from the contributions of an Advisory Council of distinguished individuals, many of whom have deep experience in international relations. Our Board and Council volunteer their time, talent and commitment to ensure the success of the organization.

The job of putting together the Conference and our programs is carried out by a group of roughly 75 dedicated volunteers who collectively put in thousands of hours each year to organize and follow through on this vital work. Many thanks to those who serve on our Program, Finance, Development, Marketing, Education, Community Events, and Hospitality Committees!

And while we pride ourselves on being a volunteer-powered organization, those superb volunteers are facilitated by our versatile and collaborative staff of two.
