 | Madeleine K. Albright (Portrait by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders) |
Madeleine K. Albright, U.S. secretary of state during the Clinton administration, will discuss "Public Service in the Age of Globalization" at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21, in the Law School's Levinson Auditorium, 127 Wall St.
Her talk, the inaugural Samuel Heyman Lecture, is free and open to the public. Her visit is sponsored by the Heyman Federal Public Service Fellowship Program.
Albright is the founder of The Albright Group LLC, a global strategy firm. She is also the first Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Georgetown School of Foreign Service and the first Visiting Saltzman Fellow at Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. She chairs The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and The Pew Global Attitudes Project, and is president of the Truman Scholarship Foundation. Albright also co-chairs the High Level Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor and serves on the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations and the board of trustees for the Aspen Institute.
A native of Prague, Czechoslovakia, Albright was named as the 64th U.S. secretary of state in 1997, becoming the first woman to hold that post and, at that time, the highest-ranking woman in the nation's history. As secretary, Albright reinforced America's alliances, advocated democracy and human rights, and promoted American trade and business, labor and environmental standards abroad.
Albright had previously served as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations and as a member of President Clinton's Cabinet. She had also been the director of Women in Foreign Service Programs and president of the Center for National Policy, a non-profit public policy organization based in Washington D.C. She was a member of President Carter's National Security Council and White House staff 1978-1981.
Her autobiography, "Madam Secretary: A Memoir," was published in 2003. She has a new book due out in May titled "The Mighty and The Almighty -- Reflections on America, God and World Affairs."
