Nathan Hale in Washington, D.C.
“The Capital Chapter!”
|
Nathan Hale’s Washington, D.C.
chapter is one of our largest and most active. Many of our fellows and general members
live and work inside of the “Beltway,” giving us a large number of people
to engage in thoughtful and informed discussion about U.S.
foreign policy. We generally
organize the following types of events:
|
|
Steve Clemons of the New America Foundation recently met
with
Nathan Hale members to discuss U.S.
Foreign Policy in the Second Bush Term
|
- Guest Speakers.
One of the obvious benefits of life in Washington is the chance to
interact with a large number of the leading scholars and policymakers
in the field. This year, we
plan to organize group discussions with experts in foreign policy
roughly once every other month.
Our last meeting was in early December, when Steve Clemons of
the New America Foundation met with about fifteen Nathan Hale members
to discuss the foreign policy agenda for the second George W. Bush
administration.
|
- Foreign Policy
Chats. If there is one feature that most
distinguishes Nathan Hale’s Washington
chapter from other think tanks in the city, it is our regular informal
meetings. These give us an
opportunity to speak with one another about foreign policy in a
relaxed informal setting, normally after work. We usually meet in restaurants and
discuss a particular topic of interest over dinner, and we’ve found
that it’s a great way to make friends and professional contacts with
similar interests.

- Nathan Hale Book
Club. This year, we plan to organize a few
sessions to discuss new and interesting books in foreign policy. We welcome your suggestions on
appropriate books, and we welcome you to submit reviews for potential
publication on our website!
|
|
We are also open to other activities suggested
by our members! If you are
interested in participating, please let us know! Our National Director, Justin Abold, heads our Washington chapter, and our Vice
President, John Ciorciari, and Director of Studies, Bob Kotka, are both recent transplants to the area, so please
feel free to be in touch! We look
forward to seeing you at our next meeting, and we will update this site
with planned events. We expect our
next speaker event to take place in mid-January.
