The Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) is celebrating its 40th anniversary, reflecting on its evolution from a small Advisory Council post-Beirut bombings in 1985 to a global platform with over 7,000 member organizations. OSAC fosters collaboration between the U.S. government and American entities abroad while managing over 150 overseas chapters. It offers specialized working groups addressing diverse security issues, such as faith-based security and cybersecurity, reaffirming its mission to ensure safety and success for U.S. interests in a complex international landscape.
"We are incredibly honored and proud to be approaching that 40th anniversary and celebrating it from July through the end of the year at our annual briefing in November at Amazon headquarters. The 40th anniversary is a powerful moment for reflection."
"OSAC was created in 1985 in the aftermath of the Beirut embassy bombings, when there was a clear need for stronger collaboration between the U.S. government and our many American organizations overseas."
"What started as a small Advisory Council has evolved into a global platform and partnership of more than 7,000 member organizations. We now support over 150 overseas country chapters and offer specialized working groups in everything from faith-based security, cybersecurity to aviation."
"This anniversary isn't just about looking back, it's about reaffirming OSAC's mission in an increasingly complex world, it's critically important we continue to provide safety and success for all U.S. interests abroad."
