What Diplomats Do and Why It (Still) Matters by Ambassador Barbara Stephens...

The San Diego Diplomacy Council would like to invite you to an evening with Ambassador Barbara Stephenson, President of the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA), who will discuss the role of the nation’s diplomats as the most cost-effective tool in our national security toolkit. Ambassador Stephenson will highlight how diplomatic engagement, whether through international exchange programs, helping U.S. businesses compete and win, or working with international law enforcement partners, helps the United States maintain global leadership and keep America secure and prosperous.

Our event is co-hosted with the San Diego World Affairs Council, and sponsored by the Charles Hostler Institute on World Affairs at SDSU, the World Trade Center, and the City of San Diego's International Affairs Board.

Reception 6-7 pm

FAQs

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

There is the Parking Garage Structure Q at the end of McKellar Court. After you parked, walk to the ground floor across the alley. A sign will indicate you the way to go to the Qualcomm Building Q where the reception and auditorium are located.
