Join us for a conversation with Ambassador Wendy Sherman, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, as she reflects on the personal experiences that have shaped her journey through diplomacy, leadership, and public service. 

Spending decades at the heart of American diplomacy, from negotiating historic nuclear agreements to breaking barriers as one of the highest-ranking women in the State Department, our discussion will delve into many stories and lessons taken from a breadth of experience. Her career has taken her around the world, but it's the moments in between—the challenges, choices, and conversations—that have defined her story. 

This event offers a window into the life behind the title, tracing the personal journey of a trailblazing diplomat.

Moderated by:
