B’nai B’rith International Leadership Forum
B’nai B’rith International members and supporters from around the world will gather at the Washington Marriott Georgetown for the 2019 Leadership Forum. The forum will open the evening of Saturday, November 2 with a full slate of programming through lunch on Monday, November 4. There is an exciting agenda planned to explore the theme of “Global Security in an Insecure World,” and how B’nai B’rith is at the fore of one of today’s most pressing issues.
The forum features leading figures in public policy, diplomacy and industry. Included in the program is a keynote address by a top Washington insider, a special installment of our Diplomatic Encounter Series and an off-site reception hosted at a foreign embassy. |
Special rates are available for B’nai B’rith Connect (formerly B’nai B’rith Young Leadership Network) leaders. Please contact Rebecca Rose for details.
