Our 2023 Administration Distinguished Speaker Event this year will take place on Tuesday, August 15 from 09:00 to 10:30 am and will feature Ambassador Julianne Smith, since November 2021 the U.S. permanent representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). I hope that you will be able to join us for this special occasion.  It promises to be an excellent and timely conversation and we are grateful to Ambassador Smith for making time in her schedule to be with us.
