SUMMARY:Great Decisions: U.S. Engagement of Africa
DESCRIPTION:This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. \nNearly half of the world’s population will reside in Africa by the end of the century. In addition\, the continent’s wide variety of natural resources has placed Africa at the center of intense competition between the U.S. and China. What could the U.S. strategy toward this critical region look like? \nThis program is presented by the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis through a partnership with Global Minnesota. \nThe Great Decisions program addresses some of the most critical foreign policy issues facing the United States each year. Global Minnesota facilitates the statewide Great Decisions program by providing access to a roster of local foreign policy experts and to discussion materials produced by the Foreign Policy Association.  \nAnne Linnee\, presenter \nFollowing a more than 20-year career as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer\, Anne retired from the State Department in 2023.  During her career she primarily worked on issues in\, and related to\, Africa and Asia.  Her overseas assignments included the United Arab Emirates\, Afghanistan\, China\, Pakistan\, Mauritania and South Africa\, as well as Washington\, DC.  Her final assignment was as the U.S. Consul General in Durban\, South Africa. \nIf you would like to register\, please RSVP to frontdesk@womansclub.org. \nInterested in joining or starting a Great Decisions discussion group?
