SUMMARY:NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS (NFTS) AND THE GLOBAL ART MARKET
DESCRIPTION:Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are best described as “bitcoin for art.” NFTs allow pictures\, videos\, music\, or anything other form of visual or digital culture to be to be traded\, stored or authenticate. NFTs allow artits to see and protect their digitial creations as the block-chain technology means NFTs cannot be duplicated without permission. However\, because there is no real oversight or regulation\, NFTs are easy to exploit.  Louise Carron\, an associate at Klaris law\, will be helping us understand this new frontier in the global art trade. \nLouise Carron is an Associate at Klaris Law who is passionate about advising entrepreneurs\, start-ups\, and nonprofits across creative industries. Primarily focusing on contract matters\, copyright use\, and new technologies\, Louise particularly enjoys helping artists protect their creations\, rights\, and legacies. \nPrior to joining Klaris Law\, Louise spent three years as the Executive Director of the Center for Art Law\, where she ran daily operations\, taught workshops on legal basics for artists\, and mentored interns. She also worked on various transactional and litigation matters with J. Greenberger PLLC. \nLouise has written on numerous topics at the junction of art and law\, including street art and NFTs\, and she is a regular contributor to the Entertainment\, Arts and Sports Law (EASL) Journal published by the New York State Bar Association. She appeared on various panels and podcasts\, co-chairs the EASL Pro-Bono Steering Committee\, and is a member of the Art Law Committee of the New York City Bar Association. She also serves as secretary of the Center for Art Law’s board of directors. \nLouise grew up Paris\, France\, where she pursued a double Bachelor’s in French Law and Common Law and a Master’s in Comparative Business Law. She also earned an LL.M from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (NY) with a concentration in Fashion\, Art\, Media and Entertainment Law. She lives in Brooklyn and is admitted to practice in New York State.

SUMMARY:“Challenges of Leadership in Our Democracy”  With Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta
DESCRIPTION:“Challenges of Leadership in Our Democracy” \nWith Sec. Leon Panetta \n(Secretary of Defense\, 2011-2013 \nDirector of the CIA\, 2009-2011) \nA Zoom Webinar event \nTuesday\, March 8th\, 2021 at 1:00 PM PST \nConversation moderated by Dr. Richard Downie \n— \nSpeaker Bio: \nThe son of Italian immigrants\, born and raised in Monterey and graduate of Santa Clara University and Santa Clara University School of Law\, Secretary Panetta began his long and distinguished public service career in 1964 as a First Lieutenant in the United States Army\, and upon discharge went to work in Washington as a legislative assistant to United States Senate Minority Whip Tom Kuchel of California. In 1969\, he was appointed director of the Department of Health\, Education and Welfare’s Office for Civil Rights\, where he was responsible for enforcing equal education laws. Later\, he served as executive assistant to the mayor of New York City. He then returned to Monterey\, where he practiced law until his election to the United States House of Representatives in 1976. \nServing in Congress for sixteen years\, Secretary Panetta was a key participant in agriculture\, healthcare\, ocean and federal budget issues. From 1989 to 1993\, he chaired the House Budget Committee. He authored a wide range of legislation\, including the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988\, Medicare and Medicaid coverage for hospice care for the terminally ill\, and numerous measures to protect the California coast\, including creation of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. \nIn 1993\, Secretary Panetta left Congress to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget for the Clinton administration. There\, he was instrumental in developing the policies that led to a balanced federal budget and eventual surpluses. In 1994\, he accepted appointment as the president’s chief of staff\, and immediately brought order and focus to White House operations. \nUpon leaving the Clinton administration in 1997\, Secretary Panetta joined with his wife Sylvia to establish and co-direct The Panetta Institute for Public Policy\, based at California State University\, Monterey Bay. Reflecting Secretary Panetta’s own ideals and personal example\, the nonpartisan\, not-for-profit study center seeks to attract thoughtful men and women to lives of public service and prepare them for the policy challenges of the future. \nReturning to public service in the Obama administration as director of the CIA\, he ran the operation that brought Osama bin Laden to justice\, and\, as Secretary of Defense\, led the effort to develop a new defense strategy\, helped bring two wars to an end\, and opened up opportunities for everyone to serve in the military. \nSecretary Panetta returned to the Panetta Institute as chairman on February 27\, 2013 and resumed his role as moderator of the renowned Leon Panetta Lecture Series. He chronicles his life in public service in his best-selling memoir Worthy Fights\, which was published in 2014.

SUMMARY:Global Economic Outlook 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre you worried about the volatility of the stock market?\nDo you have concerns about ongoing inflation and its impact on your wallet?\n\nDespite pandemic stress and global supply chain woes\, the U.S. economy grew last year at its fastest pace since 1984\, rebounding from a sharp but limited coronavirus-driven recession in March 2020. The nation’s gross domestic product (GDP)\, a measure of all goods and services produced\, expanded by 5.7 percent in 2021\, the Commerce Department reported last Thursday. Growth accelerated even faster during the period from October to December\, rising to 6.9 percent on an annualized basis. All good news right? Not so much as signs of volatility continue to rock the market.\n\nIn 2021\, stocks were at a record high even with rising inflation\, supply chain problems\, and pandemic driven pressures. Unfortunately\, the stock market has had its worst start to the new year since 2016. Because of this shift in 2022\, the bull market is now facing significant uncertainty. Does this mean we are headed into a bear market?\n\nWage growth remains elevated in the U.S. However\, consumer spending fell in December as Americans stayed home with spiraling coronavirus numbers and retailers struggled to keep up with demand due to holiday shopping disruptions. What is the Federal Reserve doing to reduce the impact of inflation on consumers? How many times will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates in 2022?\n\nWorld food prices jumped 28 percent in 2021 to their highest level in a decade\, and hopes for a return to more stable market conditions this year are slim\, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). What does this mean for the working poor and the middle class who are already stretched thin?\n\nJoin the World Affairs Council of Charlotte on Thursday\, February 10\, 2022 with Dr. Jay Bryson\, Managing Director and Chief Economist for Wells Fargo’s Corporate and Investment Bank. Bryson will share his expert insight into the global economic outlook for 2022\, referencing domestic and major economies worldwide while addressing major challenges stemming from the pandemic and its impact to your bottom line.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWACC Distinguished Speaker Series (Virtual)\nThursday\, February 10\, 2022\n\nGlobal Economic Outlook 2022\n\nDr. Jay Bryson\nManaging Director and Chief Economist for Wells Fargo’s Corporate and Investment Bank\n\nPresentation and Q&A (VIA ZOOM)\n12:00 – 1:00 PM EST\nCost:\nWACC & YPWACC Member / Student / Teacher Ticket:\nFREE\nUNC Charlotte Faculty / Students / Staff:\nFREE\nNon-member Ticket: $12\n\nFor non-online payments: Please call 704-687-7762 or mail your check to “World Affairs Council of Charlotte\, 9201 University City Blvd.\, Charlotte\, NC 28223)

Her analysis\, writing\, and outreach focus on building awareness and understanding of a “restraint” approach to foreign policy\, which seeks to limit the use of military force to the defense of core US national security interests and favors robust diplomatic engagement. Shackelford was a career diplomat with the US Department of State until December 2017\, when she resigned in protest of the Trump administration. Her resignation letter was the first to draw widespread attention to the declining state of diplomacy under Donald Trump. She is the author of The Dissent Channel: American Diplomacy in a Dishonest Age\, winner of the 2020 Douglas Dillon Book Award. Using both firsthand and historical observations\, The Dissent Channel demonstrates that the crisis in US foreign policy predated recent efforts to sideline the diplomatic corps. \nAs a Foreign Service Officer\, Shackelford served in Somalia\, Kenya\, South Sudan\, Poland\, and Washington\, D.C.\, tracking political and conflict developments\, advising Mission and Washington leadership\, and\nadvocating for US interests with foreign counterparts. For her work in South Sudan during the outbreak of civil war in 2013\, Shackelford received the Barbara Watson Award for Consular Excellence\, the Department’s\nhighest honor for consular work. \nAs a non-resident fellow with the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in 2020\, Shackelford conducted research\, analysis\, and commentary on the costs of a militarized approach to foreign policy and the need for\ngreater accountability in US actions abroad. Prior to joining the State Department\, Shackelford was an associate with Booz Allen Hamilton where she led USAID projects to assess business environments in developing\ncountries. Shackelford was also an associate with the law firm Covington & Burling\, where she focused on international trade law.

SUMMARY:Listening for the Heartbeat of Iran
DESCRIPTION:Tara Kangarlou will be discussing the role of media and society in the U.S. and Iran\, and her insights about the Iranian people and culture as the western media seems to highlight only a slim view of this country of 80 million people.

SUMMARY:Sake Tasting with Certified Sake Sommelier
DESCRIPTION:Join Certified Sake Sommelier Akisa Fukuzawa on Friday\, May 7th\, for a virtual event that is certain to put a smile on your face! She will teach us about sake and the culture behind the drink. We will be tasting 3 types of sake – Sparkling (Mio brand)\, Daiginjo (Dassai brand)\, and Ginjo (Kikusui brand). \nPlease note this event is only for those at least 21 years of age. \n \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nAkisa Fukuzawa has studied and worked both in her native country of Japan and the United States for over 28 years in a variety of industries and sectors. While Akisa was serving as Executive Director for the non-profit Japan America Society of Central Ohio (JASCO) in 2014\, she organized a sake tasting event at a downtown Columbus Japanese restaurant and was inspired by the sake sommelier who she hired. Since then\, she studied to become a sake sommelier herself and was officially certified by the Food & Beverage Specialists Organization in Japan in 2016. \nAkisa focuses on two areas related to sake: public education and sake tasting events. Since sake is very unique to Japanese culture\, she believes that explaining the cultural background and history of sake is just as important as talking about the production process and tasting the different flavors. \n \n******************************************************************************************************* \nPlease note: If you buy a ticket that includes sake\, it is non-refundable since we will need to order the sake in advance.  The sake we purchase will be available for pickup in one or more locations in and around Cincinnati;  specific locations to be confirmed. \nFor those who prefer to purchase up sake on their own: two of the brands we will be tasting are available in the Cincinnati area as follows: \n-Mio (Sparking): Kroger (some locations) and Jungle Jim’s (Fairfield)\n-Kikusui (Ginjo): Jungle Jim’s (Fairfield) \n  \nThis workshop is sponsored by: \n\n \nwith additional support from:\n\nThe Tōkaidō Fund
