A propos de cet article

108 pages, plus covers. The directory is intended to facilitate social contact among members. The membership at the time of publication was about 3.000 (including spouses). DACOR, an organization of foreign affairs professionals dating back to 1952, fosters frank dialog about current foreign policy matters in the discrete environment of the DACOR Bacon House. Within this stunning historic mansion, DACOR provides networking opportunities to advance the professional and social needs of its members. Through a range of programs, DACOR sustains and supports community amongst those who have dedicated their lives to foreign affairs through governmental and non-governmental work, research and academia, trade and development, and communications and media. DACOR‘s philanthropic arm is the DACOR Bacon House Foundation, which serves as the steward of historic mansion located at 1801 F Street, NW. Built in 1825 just two blocks from the White House, the 24-room home has served as an intellectual salon for our nation‘s leaders since its earliest days. In addition, the Foundation operates a museum that provides a window into the world of diplomacy for the general public and annually awards $250,000 in scholarships and fellowships to students pursuing careers in diplomacy, development and international relations. DACOR welcomes into membership professionals in the field of foreign affairs and accepts donations from those wishing to support the preservation and educational work of the Foundation. DACOR and the DACOR Bacon House Foundation are headquartered in the elegant, 200 year-old DACOR Bacon House, an iconic Federal style four story brick mansion that is located two blocks from the White House. The House is a beautiful and historic national treasure that serves as a living testament to America's diplomatic heritage and is also a museum for the public that honors the nation's diplomatic history and shares art and artifacts from around the world. Completed in 1825, the House was home to a number of influential social and political figures in Washington, DC's history. Eight Presidents have visited or stayed at the House, including James Monroe and Abraham Lincoln. Two Chief Justices have lived here - John Marshall and Melville Fuller. Virginia Murray Bacon, the last private owner of the House bequeathed 1801 F Street to the Bacon House Foundation to protect the house in perpetuity. She directed that the house be maintained as a meeting place "to facilitate international peace and understanding by bringing together leaders in the field of foreign policy and international relations and law for the purpose of defining and resolving international problems." The House is now operated as a center for international dialogue by DACOR and hosts many events every week including discussions, lectures, receptions, musical performances, other cultural events, and post reunions to reunite United States foreign service professionals who have served together overseas.
