For this month's Africa Discussion Group, we will hold a hybrid event - you have the option of attending in person as usual or virtually. All attendees must register.
The Africa Discussion Group is delighted to welcome Amb. Herman J. "Hank" Cohen as its guest speaker at its monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 15. Amb. Cohen is the doyen of Old Africa Hands around Washington. He served as Ambassador to Senegal and the Gambia, and later as Assistant Secretary for African Affairs. He lectured at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He is a scholar in his own right. He will discuss his most recent book US Policy Toward Africa: Eight Decades of Realpolitik. We will also ask him about his recent articles urging stronger focus on African affairs in US foreign policy.
The DACOR cash bar opens at 12 noon and the group moves to a reserved table at Members' Lunch at 12:30 pm. Attendees have the option of participating in the Members' Lunch for $35, or joining the discussion group without eating (no charge). Registrations are required for all participants.
