SUMMARY:White House Initiative -- AA and NHPI Economic Summit
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 10\, 2024\, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans\, Native Hawaiians\, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) will host its sixth 2023-24 Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Economic Summit in Duluth\, GA with participation from the White House and federal agencies. The events are being held in collaboration with the Small Business Administration\, U.S. Department of the Treasury\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization\, the National Asian / Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship\, and other federal agencies. Please note that this is a re-scheduled Economic Summit that was originally planned for October 6\, 2023. \nLanguage barriers and limited outreach have historically held AA and NHPIs back from applying for federal procurement\, jobs\, grants\, and programs. Although approximately 10 percent of small businesses in the U.S. are AA and NHPI-owned\, only 2.8 percent of federal contracting dollars went to AA and NHPI small businesses in Fiscal Year 2020\, according to the Small Business Administration. In May 2021\, President Joe Biden re-established and reinvigorated WHIAANHPI through Executive Order 14031. The Initiative’s whole-of-government approach engages federal agencies to improve interagency policymaking\, program development\, and outreach\, and address barriers impacting AA and NHPIs across the country.

Is this a wise strategy\, and how effective can it be? \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Penelope Prime\, Founding Director\, China Research Center \n\n\n\nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \n\n\n\nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year.

SUMMARY:Fifth Nunn School Symposium: The Dollar's Challenged Role in the World
DESCRIPTION:Since the end of the Second World War the US dollar has played a central role in the global economy. During the 21st century the US government has extensively leveraged the associated importance of the US financial system to secure foreign policy objectives. That activity and concerns about US fiscal responsibility have recently prompted other governments and non-state actors to seek alternatives to the dollar and to the US financial system. This half-day symposium will explore how the US has used the dollar and the US financial system as a source of power and assess the challenges to the continued centrality of the dollar and the US financial system and consider what that means for US power. \n\n\n\n12:00 Lunch and welcome\n\n\n\n\nAlasdair Young\, Professor and Neal Family Chair\, Sam Nunn School ofInternational Affairs\, Georgia Institute of Technology\n\n\n\n\n12:30 Leveraging the dollar for foreign policy ends\n\n\n\n\nBrian Grant\, Managing Director\, Global Head of Financial Crimes ComplianceOperations and Global Head of Sanctions Compliance at MUFG\n\n\n\nPeter Harrell\, Nonresident Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for InternationalPeace.

SUMMARY:2025 Dunwoody Virtual Great Decisions Lecture Series – U.S. Changing Leadership of the World Economy
DESCRIPTION:The annual 2025 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 6 – March 27\, 2025 at 7:00 PM. There is a fee to register for the virtual lecture series\, and registration is required to receive the event link. \n\n\n\nTopic: U.S. Changing Leadership of the World Economy \n\n\n\nUnder President Biden\, the U.S. has advanced new ideas about trade\, technology\, industrial policy\, competition with China\, and the organization of the world economy. For most of the postwar era\, the U.S. has tied its global leadership to cooperative agendas aimed at creating a more open-world trading system\, but that has apparently come to an end. What are America’s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How will America’s “foreign policy for the middle class” and strategic competition with China impact its leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for economic nationalism and great power competition? \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Stephen Collins\, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs\, Kennesaw State University (KSU) \n\n\n\nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \n\n\n\nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2025 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\,  \n\n\n\nvisit Gciv.org/programs/gd. \n\n\n\nThe Georgia Council for International Vistiors (GCIV) implements professional international exchange programs on behalf of the U.S. Department of State and other federal agencies. GCIV’s mission is to foster professional\, cultural and educational experiences that connect Georgia citizens and international leaders to cultivate positive global change.

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: Murata: Tiny Parts\, Huge Impact on Global Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:When things are going right\, the small things are easy to ignore. Not so when supply chains are stressed — the essential becomes magnified\, no matter how tiny. \n\n\n\nThat’s what happened with Murata\, who in 1973 became one of the earliest Japanese investors in Georgia\, setting up a plant to make capacitors in car radios. The Kyoto-based company\, now with global annual revenues of approximately $1.7 Trillion yen\, holds about 40 percent of the world’s market share for capacitors\, small ceramic parts produced by the trillions each year to store and release power within electronic devices. \n\n\n\nWhen a tsunami hit Japan’s northeast coast in 2011 and an earthquake shook the country\, electronics supply chains were scrambled. Everything\, from cell phones and digital cameras to appliances and EVs\, relies in some way on Murata’s parts — more than 1\,000 go into a typical smartphone and potentially 30\,000+ slated for a fully autonomous electric vehicle. \n\n\n\nMurata had already been diversifying its sourcing around the world\, including in Southeast Asia\, to be closer to end customers. It also deepened research spending to ensure it could serve advanced industries\, like increasingly computerized cars\, with innovative solutions. That blend of diversification and R&D continues today. Murata Electronics North America\, meanwhile\, has a new headquarters in Atlanta\, Ga.\, and maintains a distribution center in Rockmart\, Ga. \n\n\n\nToday\, an uncertain global trade landscape threatens to inflict another shock to supply chains around the world. Join GSU-CIBER and Global Atlanta to hear from Murata Electronics North America’s CEO\, David Kirk\, on how the company is dealing with increasing volatility in high-value industries where the smallest parts can make the biggest impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Kirk\, VP\, Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd.President & CEO\, Murata Electronics North America\nDavid is responsible for various functions within the Americas including Sales/Marketing\, Operations and Corporate Technology\, and Innovation. The Americas is a critical region for design-in activity that results in Global Sales within the Electronics industry. Murata has made multiple acquisitions and integrations on a global basis including Peregrine Semiconductor (pSemi)\, Vios Medical\, Eta Wireless\, Resonant\, and RF Monolithics (RFM). \n\n\n\nHe started his career as a Product Engineer with Murata and moved into the Director of Marketing role. He then became President and CEO of RFM\, which was a public company from 1999 to 2011. Upon coming back to Murata in 2012\, he was instrumental in RFM’s acquisition by the parent company in Japan. \n\n\n\nDavid is the first non-Japanese person to lead Murata in the Americas and become an officer of the parent company Murata Manufacturing Company headquartered in Kyoto\, Japan.  \n\n\n\nHe came to the United States in the late 1970s on a track scholarship and graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina with a degree in Electrical Engineering. \n\n\n\nDavid and his wife\, Tammi\, have four grown children and live in McKinney\, TX (in the Dallas area). His hobbies include golfing\, hiking\, cycling (gravel)\, fishing\, and their seven grandchildren. \n\n\n\nDavid enjoys the challenge of globalizing Murata and specifically mentoring the next generation of leaders in following the company’s philosophy of contributing to the advancement of society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey takeaways:  \n\n\n\n\nHow Murata has diversified its manufacturing locations around the world in partnership with customers and what that has meant for the company’s U.S. operations\n\n\n\n\n\nMurata’s approach to continuous improvement in research and development\, its moves up the value chain over the last 50 years\, and efforts to showcase innovation in relatable ways like robots and other consumer-facing items\n\n\n\n\n\nThe company’s approach to trade uncertainty and supply chain volatility and how the company balances its Japanese sensibilities\, including long-term strategy\, with a nimble approach in global markets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Beyond Borders - Canada's National Elections: A Pivotal Moment for US-Canadian Relations
