SUBJ: Upcoming NSF/World Affairs Council Meetings
Colleagues:
We have three very interesting meetings coming up in September and early October.
The first will be with Werner Fornos, a widely recognized expert on global population issues next Wednesday evening.
That will be followed by a presentation by Dr. Tyrus W. Cobb on the National Security Council, sometimes regarded as the power center of the Administration, taking place on Wednesday, September 22nd.
The next meeting will be a presentation by Mr. Jacob Dayan, the Israeli Council General in Los Angeles, on the morning of October 5th.
The presentation by Mr. Fornos is titled, “Gaining People, Losing Ground: Balancing Population with Resources”. Winner of the prestigious 2003 United Nations Population Award, Fornos makes frequent national TV appearances and is often read in the major media. His talk will be the evening of Wednesday, September 8th, at the Siena. Note that there will be a cocktail hour with the speaker prior to the event (announcement attached, no RSVP required). This presentation is sponsored by the local World Affairs Council chapter and the Northern Nevada International Center.
Here is some advanced information on the following two discussions. These are regular NSF meetings (just save the date for now, no response necessary yet).
