I think this will be of interest to a lot of ONE members. This Wednesday the US Global Leadership Coalition will be hosting an interactive dialogue with Senior State Department Leadership. Coinciding with the launch of their Putting Smart Power to Work campaign, the dialogue will be hosted by Judy Woodruff and will include State Department officials such as Deputy Secretary of State Jacob Lew and the Acting USAID Administrator Alonzo Fulgham.

The event runs this Wednesday from 8:30-10:00 am EST. Everyone’s invited to participate, and you can RSVP here. You can also watch the live webcast on USGLC’s website here.

We’ll have more on this in the coming days.
