America's Impact

America’s Impact was originally founded in 2002 by Karen Mulhauser as a political committee to elect members of Congress with responsible foreign policy positions. Following the 2008 election, leadership of the organization passed to Foreign Policy Professionals for Obama (FPPfO), an independent grassroots organization of foreign policy professionals devoted to sharing and discussing Senator Obama's foreign policy programs and advancing his national security credentials.

With over 1,500 members in several chapters throughout the United States, FPPfO promoted Senator Obama’s agenda through large networking events, intimate briefings with experts, media outreach, fundraising, and grassroots voter outreach.
