Leadership
Over the years, IFE has grown to be a Washington institution which is a safe haven, far from partisan glare, for local, national, and world leaders to come together and engage with one another on the most pressing issues of the day. IFE has become a trusted neutral ground for leaders to communicate frankly and quietly, behind the scenes.
