SUMMARY:Global Social with International Women of Courage
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is closed. Please call us at 612.625.1662 to be added to the event. \nGlobal Minnesota is proud to host the following two recipients of this year’s U.S. Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award. \n\nSister Carolin Tahhan Fachakh from Syria is a Roman Catholic nun who runs a school for traumatized children and teaches vocational skills to vulnerable women. She was nominated by the Vatican for her ongoing service to refugee communities and children\, and her work focuses on education and protection of children; internally displaced persons and refugee rights; and women’s economic empowerment.\nMs. Jannat Al Ghezi from Iraq is Deputy Director of Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq\, a women’s NGO that helps survivors of gender-based violence\, especially domestic violence\, by offering shelter\, training\, protection\, and legal services. Her work focuses on gender-based violence (survivors and protection) and honor killings; and advocacy to advance women’s rights.\n\nEstablished in 2007\, the annual U.S. Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award honors women around the globe who have exemplified exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for human rights\, women’s equality\, and social progress\, often at great personal risk. This is the only Department of State award that pays tribute to emerging women leaders worldwide. \nJoin us for the opportunity to meet these extraordinary women and learn about the change they are implementing across the globe. The evening includes complimentary hors d’oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages. Cash bar available. \nThis event is produced in partnership with GHR Foundation and with support from GHR and the Katherine W. Merriam family.  \nPhoto credit: The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs\, U.S. Department of State

SUMMARY:Global Conversations ST. PAUL: Conflict in the South China Sea
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is closed. Walk-ins welcome. There is still space in the Minneapolis version of this program. Click here to register. \nThe South China Sea is a locus of competing territorial claims\, and China its most vocal claimant. Beijing’s interest has intensified disputes with other countries in the region in recent years\, especially since China has increased its naval presence. Despite rising international pressure\, including an unfavorable ruling by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea\, China staunchly defends its policies in the region. Preventing tensions from boiling over is a matter of careful diplomacy. \nJoin us for a lunchtime conversation\, with Professor Duncan McCampbell\, on what is being done to promote diplomacy and prevent tensions from boiling over in the region. \nProfessor McCampbell is an American lawyer and professor of international business and law at Metropolitan State University in Minneapolis\, where he also serves as MBA Program Director.  Following 14 years—much of it abroad—with the Westlaw division of Thomson Reuters\, he has a professional background in non-U.S. legal systems. He teaches law and business in China and travels extensively in Asia. He also writes on global commercial\, legal\, political\, and security issues\, and recently returned from a one-month visit to China and the Philippines to research the evolving situation in the South China Sea. In addition to teaching\, Professor McCampbell leads a business consultancy that helps companies enter new markets overseas. \nGlobal Conversations St. Paul is produced in partnership with Landmark Center.

SUMMARY:Colombia: The Path to Peace with Ambassador Pinzón
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is now closed. \nIn November 2016\, the Colombian Congress ratified a peace accord designed to end more than 50 years of civil war with the country’s largest rebel group\, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia\, or FARC. For his efforts to promote this agreement\, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. \nJoin us for a luncheon presentation with Ambassador of Colombia Juan Carlos Pinzón\, who will discuss the challenges that lie ahead for the effective implementation of the peace accord\, and the ways this newly-achieved peace might affect Colombia’s ongoing partnership with the United States on trade promotion\, environmental protection\, and regional security. \nJuan Carlos Pinzón became Ambassador of Colombia to the United States in 2015. Previously\, he served as Minister of Defense of Colombia. Under his leadership\, the Armed Forces dealt the most severe blows to terrorist organizations\, which was critical to President Santos’ Peace Strategy. Prior to serving as Defense Minister\, Pinzón was Chief of Staff to President Santos and Vice Minister of Defense. In 2011\, the World Economic Forum selected him as a Young Global Leader. In addition to his longstanding dedication to advancing national and regional defense issues in Colombia\, he specializes in economics\, public policy\, and strategic studies and has held positions at the World Bank\, Citibank\, and Citigroup. A native of Bogotá\, Colombia\, Pinzón received his master’s degree from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and completed advanced coursework at Johns Hopkins University and Harvard University. \nEvent vouchers accepted. To register with a voucher\, please call us at 612.625.1662.
