The Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) educates the public, government leaders and staffers, nonprofit leaders and staffers, and advocates on Capitol Hill. Specifically, CPI hosts multi-week seminars for government and nonprofit staffers on the technical knowledge required to be an effective public policy staffer. CPI also works to place qualified staffers in public policy positions in government and other nonprofit organizations. CPI hosts policy meetings and informal gatherings for advocates, government leaders, nonprofit leaders, and their staffers, to meet and debate policy. Finally, CPI educates the public by having staffers comment on policy and procedural issues in radio and television interviews and op-eds. Through educational seminars and training programs, in 2023 CPI trained 227 staff from conservative organizations, nonprofits, and Congressional offices, and held 105 educational, multi-week seminars and networking events.
