About this Event

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we're taking a closer look at the powerful force that is U.S. diplomacy.

The World Affairs Council of Connecticut invites you to a special evening exploring the evolution of U.S. diplomacy - from pivotal decisions to defining figures and from the impact of U.S. leadership on world history to where the U.S. is headed in the century ahead.

How did diplomacy shape the nation into a superpower and where is the U.S. headed next? RSVP to find out.

After a great event in Fairfield, we're bringing Dr. Brenes to Hartford due to popular demand for another exciting talk about 250 years of U.S. diplomatic power.
