Ambassador Nancy McEldowney hosted former Secretary of State Colin Powell for an afternoon conversation at the Foreign Service Institute. General Powell reflected on his years of public service, the lessons that might be relevant for diplomats in training, and some commentary on the state of the world today. He emphasized the need to educate and inspire young people to work in the public interest. He was thoughtful, frank, and insightful. We who were honored to be in the audience were inspired to renew our commitments to public service.
P.S. It was my last day of class at FSI this year; Shelly and I are off to Albuquerque next week, and off to Ecuador next month!
