SUMMARY:Disarray & Disaster in the Taliban's Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special\, exclusive event featuring Lt. Tom Schram\, a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer\, who specializes in the study and reporting on national security and political-economic events in China\, the Western Pacific\, the Middle East\, and Afghanistan. \nThursday\, November 18 at 6:30PM EST\nvia Virtual Zoom Presentation\nThe disaster and chaos in Afghanistan just keep getting worse. With the government unable to pay its bills\, the infrastructure crumbling\, the ruthless treatment of remaining Afghans who could not escape during the U.S./NATO airlift\, the ruling Taliban are finding it complex and difficult to govern and manage as they change from fighting a war to state building\, all in a failing economy with no workable financial system in place. \nThe Taliban’s approach to government has been and continues to be a strict Sharia law under a vicious theocracy. Their merciless approach to those not conforming exactly to these beliefs knows no mercy for those left behind following the U.S. departure. Women’s rights are almost non-existent. \nOur evening presentation will touch on the history of the region\, previous conquests\, topographic challenges\, war after 9/11\, the evacuation debacle and the poor planning decisions by National Command Authority. Last but not least\, our speaker will discuss the strategic implications for the U.S. and the world going forward. \n\nOur Presenting Guest Speaker\nTom Schram holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the United States Naval Academy\, Class of 1969. Tom also has an MBA degree in marketing and finance from the Shidler School of Business\, University of Hawaii. He was commissioned in the Navy’s Restricted Line and\nserved 7.5 years as a special intelligence officer in the Naval Security Group. He was stationed in both Japan and Okinawa while serving on multiple deployments. In 1973\, he was assigned to NSGA Anchorage\, AK as Executive Officer. He resigned his commission in late 1976. \nHis specialty was electronic intelligence collection while serving in the Naval Security Group. He played a role in the Saigon evacuation in 1975. After leaving the Navy\, he had an eclectic career starting with Procter & Gamble where he worked in manufacturing\, research & development\, advertising brand management\, and sales. He was a co-owner of an advertising agency that he helped grow from $2M/year in revenue to $12M over five years. He ran a ballistics research firm for eight years\, helped start a microbrewery and led an Internet security firm who had developed an unbreakable firewall. \nTom’s innovative approach in each of his endeavors led to patents and unique business opportunities. However\, he never lost his interest in discovering and publishing about world events. For the past twenty years\, he has been deeply involved in studying and reporting on geopolitical events around the world with special focus on the Middle East\, Afghanistan\, and China. His resurgence in learning about all things geopolitical began on 9/11/2001 when he lost his very close friend and USNA classmate in the South Tower of the World Trade Center during the attack on America. Most recently\, Tom played a direct role in assisting 757 Afghan refugees flee in the recent aftermath of the Taliban takeover and is now currently assisting another group of refugees who desperately need to evacuate Afghanistan.

SUMMARY:Role of International Organizations in a Global Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The Covid-19 pandemic has thrust the World Health Organization (WHO) into the limelight\, for better and for worse. While some of the Trump administration’s criticism of the organization was unfair\, the response to the early stages of the pandemic left many experts wanting more from the WHO. What is the WHO’s role in responding to international pandemics? What can be done to improve the WHO’s response to future global health crises? \nDr. Samira Asma is the Assistant Director-General for Data\, Analytics and Delivery for Impact at the World Health Organization where she leads WHO’s efforts to use timely\, reliable and actionable data to drive progress towards the Triple Billion targets and health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgency to strengthen country health information systems. By aligning with countries and partners\, Dr. Asma is working to ensure every country has a robust data and health information system\, to make health data accessible\, and to use data to improve health.

SUMMARY:Josep – Un Film de Aurel in French\, Spanish\, & English with English Subs at Garfield Theatre
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW: JOSEP is an animated biographic drama wrapped in 20th century history\, based on real events\, about Josep Bartolí (1910-1995)\, an exceptional artist and resistance fighter in the Spanish Civil War. \nBest known for his sketches of life in French internment camps\, 1939-1943\, Bartoli’s subsequent life experiences inform his artistic evolution – captured in non-linear fashion by director Aurélien Froment (aka “Aurel”) by use of multiple styles to demarcate the periods in Josep’s life. \nThis powerful portrait of Bartolí’s triumph over adversity is fascinating\, informative and inspirational.

SUMMARY:Teacher PD: Using Inquiry-Based Learning to Teach Global Topics
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Zoom Webinar. Register to receive a zoom invitation. \nJoin us for the kick off to our professional development series\, “Skills for Students’ Future in the World.” In this session\, teachers will learn more about the Inquiry Design Model and how inquiry-based learning can help students develop skills within the “investigate the world” domain of the Asia Society’s global competency framework. Teachers will explore resources that they can use to bring inquiry into the classroom. This session is geared toward middle and high school teachers who may be new to inquiry-based learning or want to view inquiry lessons that are more specific to cultural or global topics. Teachers have the opportunity to earn 1 CEU for participating in this session. \nLearning Outcomes \nTeachers will be able to: \n\nDefine inquiry-based learning and develop a rationale for how it can contribute to the development of global competency.\nIdentify resources that they can use to develop their own inquiry-based lessons\, including lesson and unit plan templates\, as well as other pre-made inquiry lessons that are ready to use in the classroom.\nExplain the difference between guided inquiry and direct inquiry and determine which would be appropriate for their students at a particular point in their learning.\nIdentify at least one concept and/or unit in which they would be able to use an inquiry-based method of instruction in the classroom and develop compelling and supporting questions for the lesson.

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)

SUMMARY:Standing Against Authoritarianism: Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya\, Belarus’ Opposition Leader on Fighting the Lukashenko Regime from Exile
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by World Affairs Council of Orange County \nConversation moderated by: \nMelinda Haring\, Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center \n— \nHosted in Partnership with UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies \n— \nA Zoom webinar event \nThursday\, March 3\, 2022\, at 9:00 AM PST \nSpeaker Bio: \nSviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is the leader of the Belarusian democratic forces who independent observers agree won the presidential election on August 9\, 2020\, against the autocratic President Aliaksandr Lukashenka. \nAs the leader of the Belarusian democratic movement\, she has visited 26 countries\, gathering support and advocating for the release of almost a 1000 of political prisoners and a peaceful transition of power through free and fair elections. In meetings with President Biden\, Chancellor Merkel\, President Macron\, President von der Leyen\, President Charles Michel\, and other world leaders\, Tsikhanouskaya emphasized the need for a braver response to the actions of the Belarusian dictatorship. \nTsikhanouskaya’s story began when she entered the race after her husband Siarhei Tsikhanousky was arrested for voicing his presidential aspirations. Lukashenka publicly dismissed her as a “housewife\,” saying that a woman cannot become president. Nonetheless\, Tsikhanouskaya united and successfully led the democratic coalition along with two other leaders\, Maria Kalesnikava and Veranika Tsapkala. Following her forced exile\, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya inspired unprecedented peaceful protests in Belarus\, with some rallies numbering at least 200\,000 people. \nIn 2020–2022\, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya became a symbol of the peaceful struggle for democracy and strong female leadership. Among dozens of distinctions\, she is a recipient of the Sakharov Prize awarded by the European Parliament\, 2022 International Four Freedoms Award\, and Charlemagne Prize. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda and Members of the Norwegian Parliament. Tsikhanouskaya has been recognized in Bloomberg’s Top 50 Most Influential People\, Financial Times’ Top 12 Most Influential Women\, and Politico’s Top 28 Most Influential Europeans. \nModerator Bio: \nMelinda Haring is the deputy director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center. Previously\, she was the editor of the Atlantic Council’s popular publication\, the UkraineAlert blog. She is the author of the report Reforming the democracy bureaucracy (FPRI\, 2013) coauthor of Biden and Ukraine: a strategy for the next administration (Atlantic Council\, 2021)\, Biden and Belarus: a strategy for the next administration (Atlantic Council\, 2021)\, Ukraine’s internally displaced persons hold a key to peace (Atlantic Council\, 2017)\, and a contributor to Does democracy matter?

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.

DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 14\, 1pm EST \nAfter the February 24 Russian invasion of Ukraine the world watched in horror as the situation rapidly escalated into a full-on war and refugee crisis. As Americans struggle to follow this crisis\, we cannot begin to understand a possible outcome without a full picture view of the historical events and motivations that have shaped Russia’s actions.

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.
