                       Tuesday, December 13, 2022

  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the 25th 
anniversary of the International Career Advancement Program (ICAP). 
Founded and led by Prof. E. Thomas Rowe since 1997 at the University of 
Denver's Korbel School of International Affairs, ICAP's aim is to bring 
greater quality and diversity to the highest level of senior management 
and policy-making positions in international affairs. ICAP is one of 
the only programs in the United States dedicated to helping mid-career 
professionals from under-represented communities advance to senior 
positions in international careers. Each cohort since 1997 has been 
immersed in a week-long seminar in Aspen CO consisting of workshops and 
discussions designed to prepare participants to serve in senior 
management and policy roles.
  Madam Speaker, to date, over 770 people have participated in the 
program and several ICAP Fellows have achieved the rank of United 
States Ambassador, serve as heads of NGOs, established their own non-
profit organizations, and lead companies. The ICAP Fellows Association 
(ICAPFA) continues the mission of ICAP to offer its members mentorship, 
networking opportunities, and community service.

  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating Prof. Rowe on his 
vision and ICAP's quarter century of work investing in the next 
generation of leaders in foreign affairs to ensure that the United 
States can be effective, innovative, and globally competitive.
