Yvonne will interact with key leaders and newsmakers from the three branches of government, the media and the diplomatic corps. Highlights of the program include welcoming remarks from the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives and a panel discussion with prominent journalists at the National Press Club. Scholars will visit foreign embassies and receive policy briefings from senior government officials.
