Please save the date! Sunday evening, October 3rd
We have invited Ralph Nurnberger to speak on critical issues facing the United States and Israel.

Dr. Nurnberger is an adjunct professor of international relations at Georgetown University and has taught graduate level courses at Georgetown University since 1975. He was named "Professor of the Year" by the Graduate School of Liberal Studies in 2003 and in 2005 received another award commending his over twenty years of teaching excellence at Georgetown. His articles have appeared in The Washington Post, The Washington Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the Miami Herald, Baltimore Sun and numerous scholarly journals. He spent two years as a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where he directed the Congressional relations program. Dr. Nurnberger was the first staff director of Builders for Peace, an organization established in 1993, with the encouragement of Vice President Gore, to assist the Middle East peace process by encouraging private sector investment in the West Bank and Gaza. In this position, he dealt directly with such world leaders as Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat.
