Globalization is one of the most commonly discussed traits of the world today, and it forces leaders to work in different cultures with both public and private organizations.  Within the United States, we understand how the government and private sectors work together, but how are public-private partnerships, and globalization in general, viewed in other countries?  What opportunities and challenges does this create for U.S. and world business?  How can the United States continue build and benefit from such partnerships?  To discuss these issues and more, please join LTG (Ret.) Daniel W. Christman, Senior Vice President for International Affairs at the United States Chamber of Commerce.

Cyclone Nargis recently hit Burma and left as many as 128,000 people dead and 2.5 million people impacted due to horrible resource mismanagement and negligence by the military dictatorship.

How can you help? Come to a happy hour benefit! The money will be donated to a relief organization working inside Burma that has been by-passing the military junta to make sure that food, medicine and supplies actually reach people in need.We hope that you will be able to join us in solidarity with the people of Burma.

The benefit will be on Wednesday, May 28, from 6:30-9 PM, at Meze in Adams Morgan (2437 18th Street NW).
