SUMMARY:Managing Sustainability and Food Security in Conflict Regions
DESCRIPTION:Food insecurity is both a cause and consequence of conflict. Managing food insecurity poses increasing challenges to the international development community.  Food insecurity as a cause of conflict is often linked to international market dynamics\, which can send shock waves across continents\, as the world experienced during the 2007/2008 global food price crisis. Food insecurity as a consequence of conflict is related to the destruction\, disruption\, and diversion of productive resources during conflict. The purpose of this workshop is to generate greater awareness of the importance and challenges of food security management as a conflict prevention policy and a humanitarian response mechanism in conflict-affected regions.

SUMMARY:Negotiating with Guerrillas: A Bumpy Peace for Colombia
DESCRIPTION:Complimentary admission. Registration required. \nFEATURING: Juan Fernando Cristo\, former Colombian Minister of Interior who played a key role in the peace deal; now\, he is running for president. \nColombia\, after years of negotiations\, signed a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas who had waged war against the government and civilian population for decades. Reaching agreement with the FARC was one thing. Implementing the agreement is another. Not only must the guerrillas disarm\, the government must work to integrate into civilian society people who have no job skills except waging war. The civilian population is extremely suspicious of the peace agreement and of the intentions of the disarmed guerrillas who were\, until a few months ago\, trying to kill them. As Minister of Interior (equivalent of Homeland Security Secretary in the US)\, Juan Fernando Cristo played a key role in the negotiations. He resigned on May 25 and announced he was running for president. The elections are in May 2018.

SUMMARY:The New Face of France\, Reception + Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Networking Reception: 6:30 p.m.\nDiscussion: 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. \nFeaturing: \n\nLouis de Corail\, Consul General of France in Atlanta\nFrancois Bresson\, Head of Finance Americas of Orange Business Services\n\nFrance is tired of being the sidekick of Europe. With Emmanuel Macron assuming the presidency\, and his new party En Marche gaining 350 out of 577 seats in the National Assembly\, the French people have given Macron more power than any recent president. Leadership in the West is up for grabs\, and Macron is not shying away in the slightest. Will the mantel of European leadership be assumed by a renewed Franco-German alliance? Is the sweeping victory of En Marche a rebuke of the European Project\, or a sign of unity and determination across the continent? Is the embrace of an outsider’s party a rejection of far-right populism? This French government does not hesitate to shake things up. Louis de Corail\, the Consul General of France in Atlanta\, and Francois Bresson\, Head of Finance Americas of Orange Business Services\, will assess the New Face of France. \nView the program flyer

SUMMARY:Immigration Seminar: Updates and Early Impacts of Trump Administration
DESCRIPTION:Never before has the issue of immigration been thrust so forcefully onto the forefront of the national public policy agenda. The Trump Administration has already taken unprecedented steps to severely curtail certain categories of immigration\, to ban nationals of numerous countries\, deport huge numbers of immigrants\, and to initiate an extensive review of employment based immigration classifications/visas. Not only the administration has proposed changes but also a significant number of members of Congress\, in both the Senate and the House\, have also proposed significant changes to business and family immigration rules. These changes will affect the full spectrum of employers\, including high-tech\, entertainment\, professional services\, financial technology\, and manufacturing industries. \nThis Executive seminar is being presented for Senior Management and will discuss the scope and impact of these landmark immigration changes\, with specific focus on the anticipated effects on the business community\, and on what options will be available to employers. \nTopics will include: \nExecutive Orders: \n\nEntry Bans and the impact of border enforcement on business and international travel\nIncreased focus on compliance through work site visits and E-verify usage\n\nProposals seeking to: \n\nChange the H1-B visa allocations and cap selection process\nRestrict the use of H-1B\, L-1 and B-1 visas because of alleged impact on US jobs and wages\nLimit practical training programs for F-1 students\nReduce options for green cards\nHow to cope with change and minimize negative impact\n\n\nSponsored By: \nUSA India Business Summit\nFragomen Worldwide\nUS India Business & Research Center\nTaj Hotels\n Bhavya Chaudhry and Associates

SUMMARY:From Brexit to Trump: Populism on the March Across the West
DESCRIPTION:Countries from the United Kingdom\, to Colombia\, to the United States are facing contradicting political narratives with one component in common: populism. Populism has variants: left- and right-wing\, from Bernie Sanders to Trump\, from Syriza (leftist party in Greece) to the National Party in France. David Rennie\, the Washington bureau chief of The Economist magazine\, argues American politics are experiencing a shift as right-left labels are less and less useful to define national politics as populism “sweeps the rich\, democratic world.” \nRennie\, an award winning journalist who has been critical of the Trump Administration in his Lexington column\, will speak about how American populism confounds conventional political analysis. He will offer examples from Europe on how to confront it badly\, and explain why the U.S. has strengths to deal with populism in a positive way. \nRennie will be in conversation with Robyn Curnow\, CNN anchor and host of “CNN’s International Desk with Robyn Curnow\,” which airs weekdays at 11:00 a.m. ET. Curnow has extensive experience covering critical events from anchoring CNN’s coverage of the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels\, to Obama’s historic visit to Cuba\, to hosting exclusive interviews with George W. Bush and Michelle Obama. \nMembers: $15. Nonmembers $25.

SUMMARY:From Brexit to Trump
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Farage led the campaign that won the June 2016 referendum on Great Britain’s membership in the European Union. A member of the European Parliament\, Farage told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)\, “We’ve got some very exciting elections coming up in the Netherlands\, in France\, in Germany.” His view is that with Brexit the people of the United Kingdom will regain control of their destiny. For Farage\, 2016 was the start of a global political revolution\, with a direct connection between Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. \nFarage enjoys being an incendiary political leader and his talk at the Commerce Club is likely to see fireworks. This must attend program will open a window into the thinking of the populist/nationalist movement that is ascendant in the United Kingdom and the United States. \nThe council is non-partisan\, and the speaker’s views do not necessarily reflect our own. We welcome the opportunity to be a platform where major global issues can be discussed in a calm atmosphere of mutual respect.
