WASHINGTON (April 24, 2014) –
The McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State
University announced today that former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton will participate in a conversation with U.S. Senator John
McCain (R-AZ) at the McCain Institute's annual Sedona Forum on
Saturday, April 26, 2014 in Sedona, Arizona.
"I am very
pleased to have my friend Secretary Clinton join this year's Sedona
Forum," said Senator McCain. "From her years of service as first lady,
in the U.S. Senate and at the State Department, one would be
hard-pressed to find a leader with Secretary Clinton's informed
perspective on the many challenges facing America across the globe."
The Sedona Forum is the McCain Institute’s annual gathering of national
and international thought-leaders, decision-makers, business leaders,
philanthropists, activists, and experts to discuss approaches and
solutions to real-world problems—all from the starting assumption of
character-driven leadership and core democratic values.
"We
are delighted to have former Secretary Clinton join us in Sedona,” said
ASU President Dr. Michael M. Crow. “The McCain Institute's Sedona Forum
continues to grow and attract the best minds from government, business,
academia and civil society to Arizona for stimulating discussion and
recommendations for action on a wide range of global issues."
The Sedona Forum 2014 will focus on “Crisis in the Middle East: Values,
Strategy and Options,” and will also include sessions on Russia and
Ukraine and on combating human trafficking.
