 The
United States will inaugurate a new president in January, 2009. This
progra.m. will explore the leadership issues that confront both his
Administration and the United States Government at that time. From
foreign affairs to the economy to race relations to understanding
between and a.m.ong religious faiths, the US will be challenged to respond
in new and creative ways in the 21st Century. Can a new President manage
these challenges? How is the newly elected government organizing for
taking over the reigns of power? Are you personally ready to meet the
leadership demands that a changing world will require?
T he

“Leadership in a New
Era” will bring participants from all over the world to Washington, DC
to investigate the dyna.m.ics of a leadership transition in Washington. We
will visit business, media, religious, and other cultural leaders to see
how they are preparing for the future. We will bring in leadership
trainers to give you insights to your own skills and leadership habits,
and we will engage in vigorous discussions about alternative policies to
confront the nation’s most intractable problems such as energy, health,
Middle East Peace, the rise of competitors, social security, terrorism,
and more.
