Good morning, everyone. Hi, welcome. My name is leanne. I am the director of our countering organization at the institute of peace. For those that are new, we were founded by members of congress who were veterans of world war ii. They had returned from the battlefield convinced that the u. S. Needed greater capacities to wage peace as effectively as we wage war.

We fulfill that mission by linking training and analysis, research and policy, and by working with local partners on the ground in conflict zones around the world.
