As a part of centering ourselves at the forefront of global conversations, we are so excited to announce these two great community conversations, in partnership with UNH Carsey School of Public Policy and UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law. So often the issues of #NationalSecurity, #ForeignPolicy, and #InternationalLaw are left out of the political discussion, despite the major impact these issues have on us and the role our elected officials have in shaping our responses. Join us Oct 15 to hear from Maggie Tamposi Goodlander and on Oct 17 to hear from Lily Tang Williams. It will certainly be a unique opportunity for an in-depth global ?? conversation. PLEASE NOTE: Advance registration is required for in-person attendance and all attendees will be subject to security screening. We request that all political signs and other paraphernalia be left at home, so as not to block or disrupt other people's opportunities to engage in these conversations. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated, as we work to host constructive, insightful, and challenging conversations with the candidates. All three organizations are non-partisan entities and these events do not constitute an endorsement of any kind for either candidate. More information and registration at wacnh.org/eventcalendar
