The organization believed in building upon the greatest legacies of American foreign policy through combining a strong and flexible military with shrewd diplomacy; the strategic and effective use of alliances; and above all, an unwavering commitment to Americaâs basic values."National Security Network 'About Us'Projects
NSN worked with a large network of experts to identify, develop, and communicate progressive national security policy solutions, focusing on the current issues of our time. NSN's products included policy briefs, developed by NSN's Policy Basics Project; the pre-eminent Democracy Arsenal blog; and the War Room, NSN's rapid response operation. In partnership with the US in the World project of Demos (U.S. think tank), NSN was deeply involved with the Who Owns Security project, which seeks to determine how the American public currently views the parties on national security; why the public holds those attitudes and feelings; and where they do or don't connect with specific national security issues.NSN experts were frequently invited to speak on a variety of foreign policy issues at events nationwide.The NSN Community
The National Security Network distributed its message to elected officials, political candidates, the media, national security experts, community leaders, and non-governmental organizations. NSN's 2,000-plus members and experts represented the emerging generation of foreign policy leaders. Its advisory board included: Chairman Leslie H. Gelb, Sandy Berger, Wesley Clark, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Theodore C. Sorensen, and Frank G. Wisner. Prior to becoming President Obama's envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard C. Holbrooke also served on the NSN Advisory Board.Local Chapters
NSN believed that national security is a local issue, and worked to bridge the divide between citizens and experts. NSN worked to strengthen public support for responsible, progressive foreign policy through its local chapters, located in Ohio, Iowa, Florida, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Missouri.References
