SUMMARY:Members Forum: Sports Activism on the Global Podium
DESCRIPTION:1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Dr. John Carlos and Tommie Smith captured the spirit of the civil rights movement and athlete activism when they raised black-gloved fists in support of human rights. \nFast forward fifty years. Taking a knee has replaced the raised fist. The sports field continues to present itself as a strong platform to promote civil and human rights awareness. \nDr. John Carlos and Mel Pender\, both 1968 Olympic medalists\, will share their thoughts on how sports serve as a voice for civil movements. \nMel Pender will sign his book “Expression of Hope: The Mel Pender Story” following the program.

DESCRIPTION:Featuring : \n\nAllen Fromherz\, PhD\, Director of the Middle East Center\, Georgia State University\nMichael Herb\, PhD\, Political Science Professor\, Georgia State University\n\nQatar is on the hot seat. Several countries in the Persian Gulf as well as other Arab nations have begun a blockade on the oil wealthy Arab state on accusations of supporting terror. Protests have mounted from London to Istanbul demanding that the blockade be lifted. But what is behind this blockade? Is it really about the Qatar’s alleged support for terrorism?

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 \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:U.S. – Mexico Energy Trade
DESCRIPTION:U.S. and Mexico relations are clearly strained. Blame it on the controversial wall Trump wants to build and his criticism of NAFTA\, but there is a lot more at stake for these neighbors’ in their agendas for economic growth: energy. The council is excited to present “U.S.-Mexico Energy Trade\,” a breakfast discussion on the challenges facing both countries in the midst of an evolving energy market and a dynamic time for trade. Energy trade issues between these two neighbors are not making the headlines as they should. This morning discussion will examine the future of renewable energy sources and the future of U.S.-Mexico energy trade in the midst of growing tension between the two states\, as well as the role that Georgia plays in this historic and critical partnership that is at risk. \n\n\n	From the archive:
