Executive Seminars

The fundamental objective of CSER one week executive education seminars is to bring a wide range of stabilization and economic reconstruction actors together to build trust and break down barriers; to exchange viewpoints, experiences, and lessons learned; and to forge new networks of cooperation and understanding.  CSER provides these seminars for personnel from US government agencies, the military, private industry, and non-profit, non-governmental, volunteer and international organizations engaged in the revitalization of post-conflict and post-disaster states.
