Recently, I sent you a save-the-date notice for our 2025 Global Dialogue to be held at Marymount University in Washington, D.C.
This is a short additional notice with more information and a request for your suggestions.
Our current estimate of a registration fee to cover room arrangements, food, support for speakers and overhead is in the range of $900.
There are the Hilton, Westin, Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn and Residence Inn locations within walking distance of Marymount’s Ballston Center campus. However, the Placemakr is nice, only 50 feet away and less expensive.
I am hopeful of securing a venue in the Capitol for our sessions on Sunday, April 13.
Please let me know your suggestions for round tables and possible speakers and participants. Again, the overall theme of the dialogue will be a new global ethic. You can simply respond to this email.
I am intending to ask a former director of U.S. national intelligence, a foreign policy expert in Moscow associated with the Valdai Discussion Club, which advises President Putin (by Zoom), the presidents of several think tanks, a leading journalist involved daily with analysis of American politics and experts on Ukraine, Israel and China, to join us as speakers or participants. Our colleagues at Marymount are thinking of asking a member of the U.S. Senate to share thoughts on the new Trump Administration.
I look forward to hearing from you.
