Just a reminder....TOYOTA Auditorium - Free & open to the Public! Mon., Sept. 19 @ 6 pm - Baker Center's Global Security Group presents Ambassador Linton Brooks on "21st Century Nuclear Challenges." Despite the nuclear programs of rogue states Iran and North Korea, the threat of nuclear terrorism, increasing numbers of nuclear weapons in volatile or fragile parts of the world like Pakistan, or the nuclear disaster in Japan - the nuclear security agenda has receded in the national debate. Global stockpiles of nuclear weapons, vulnerable nuclear material worldwide, and the byproducts of nuclear energy production will remain among the central challenges to US national security and global stability throughout the 21st century. This event is also sponsored by the Hudson Institute, Partnership for a Secure America, and the Stanley Foundation. Sept. 20 @ 9:30 a.m. - "Trade Policy in Latin America" Natalie van der Horst is an Economic and Commercial Officer in the Office of Bilateral Trade Affairs in the Bureau of Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. Her responsibilities include developing and implementing U.S. trade policy for the countries of South America and Panama, expanding trade access for U.S. goods and services in these countries, and coordinating bi-lateral international economic dialogues with countries in her portfolio.
