Programs and Events
AMERICA AND LEADERSHIP IN THE WORLD
The Council is honored to present a series of speakers who will address several issues critical to US foreign policy and security. We live in a time of great change. New and recuring challenges - economic, political, social, religious and technological - are directly affecting the influence and power of the US in the world. How shall we respond? What new course or actions should we take? How will the world respond?
Our 2011 - 2012 speakers will address many of these issues, and you, as members, will have direct access to listen, question and learn. Please join us. The link below will lead you to our current schedule of speakers. Additional speakers and events are planned for the year, so please return to our web site for announcements and updated news.
