The health and safety of every Ambassador has always been our top priority. For more than 50 years, we've diligently worked to make our safety measures as advanced and comprehensive as possible. We choose our destinations carefully, relying on the advice of the U.S. State Department, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as numerous international safety and security organizations.

Our delegation managers and worldwide partners accompany each delegation and coordinate daily activities overseas. All delegations are also supported by an international team. In addition, we provide training for our delegation leaders, all of whom are CPR-certified. The leaders teach safety and apply various methods to ensure that Ambassadors are safe and accounted for during travel. We also maintain a 24-hour presence in our program office during all travel periods.
