Ambassador Standley will provide critical insights into the far-reaching impact of the Trump Administration. The administration’s rapid-fire, “shock and awe” approach has brought about a period of intense upheaval and sweeping change. Their strategy of enacting “everything all at once” has been central to advancing an aggressive and unprecedented agenda, resulting in the rapid dismantling and restructuring of numerous aspects of the U.S. government.Now, more than ever, it is essential for us to stay on the solution side by staying informed, engaged, and proactive. We cannot afford to remain passive observers in these transformative times. I encourage everyone to join us, listen, learn, and consider how we can collectively respond to these historic developments.About the VenueHeld in a William Turnbull - designed home on the Inverness Ridge.
