SUMMARY:Ambassador Discussion -- Estonia: Forging a Digital Society
DESCRIPTION:Imagine life where the phrase “government bureaucracy” doesn’t make you wince. That life exists in Estonia where 99 percent of public services are available online 24 hours a day. Nearly a third of Estonians vote via the internet. They file their taxes online in under five minutes. Parents of newborns access benefits almost automatically. Estonians are living in the world’s first digital society.\n​\nWhen Estonia gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991\, its technological resources were obsolete. Estonian leaders viewed this as an extraordinary opportunity to catch up with the West. Today\, Estonia is home to more tech unicorns than any other small country globally\, thanks to digital immigration and friendly tax rates. (Fun fact: Skype was founded in Estonia in 2003!)\n​\nThe World Affairs Council of Atlanta will dive into the details with the Ambassador of Estonia to the United States\, Kristjan Prikk. Join the council at the Smith Gambrell Russell Law Firm for breakfast on Friday\, March 4\, 2022\, at 8 AM ET. Ambassador Prikk will share insights and answer our questions on Estonia‘s state of affairs\, including NATO\, Ukraine-Russia tensions\, the strengths and risks of its digital society\, and more.\n​\nSpots are limited. Register today to secure your spot!\n​\nThis program is sponsored by the Honorary Consulate of Estonia in Georgia.\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Venezuela from the Inside
DESCRIPTION:As Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó prepare for a new round of negotiations next week\, the Venezuelan economy plummets further into chaos and refugees continue to flee the country en masse. Among the four million Venezuelans who have fled Venezuela over the past four years are an estimated 500 journalists\, including CNN journalist Laura Weffer Cifuentes. The last straw? Not being able to obtain medicine for her family. \nOn Thursday\, August 29 at the law firm of Smith Gambrell and Russell (SGR) in Midtown from 5:45 PM to 7:30 PM\, Laura Weffer will share her unique perspective as a recently exiled Venezuelan journalist now working for CNN en Español in Atlanta. \nYou are invited to hear what is happening on the ground – in Venezuela – not from an outsider looking in\, but from an insider who got out. A Venezuelan who was not only trying to do her job as a journalist under an increasingly repressive government\, but also trying her best to survive. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Georgia and Mexico: Navigating a New NAFTA — A Roundtable on the Trade Deal’s Potential Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Series sponsored by: \n \nThe clock is winding down for Congress to vote on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement before the summer recess\, a deadline Republican proponents say should be reached to keep the deal out of the political vortex of the 2020 elections. Democrats\, meanwhile\, are holding out for changes to the pact and have so far refused to bring it to the floor of the House.   \nWhatever the timeline\, the Trump administration’s successor trade deal to NAFTA has ignited stark debates about how changes to its core content will affect individual companies as well as overall North American competitiveness.  \nIn Georgia\, much of the controversy has centered around autos and agriculture\, sectors where stances on the deal vary widely. But what’s actually new in USMCA\, and how will it affect some of the state’s largest stakeholders?  \nJoin Global Atlanta and the Mexican Consulate General for a lively luncheon debate to untangle the deal’s details and hear from leading voices on its potential local effects. The event will be hosted at Smith Gambrell and Russell LLP and is co-sponsored by the Latin American Chamber of Commerce of Georgia.   \nSpeakers (current list – additional speakers pending):   \nOpening Remarks:   \nConsul General of Mexico\, Javier Diaz de Leon \nPanel Discussion \n\nModerator: Trevor Williams\, Managing Editor\, Global Atlanta\nTim Samples\, Assistant Professor of Legal Studies\, UGA Terry College of Business\n\nGary Black\, Commissioner\, Georgia Department of Agriculture\n\nAndres Villegas\, President\, Georgia Forestry Association\n\nLisa Winton\, CEO and Co-owner\, Winton Machine\n\nThis event is part of the Latin American Crossroads Series sponsored by Emory Executive Education at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. \n\n\n	From the archive:
