Career diplomats to address Obama’s foreign policy
Husband and wife career public service diplomats, who have a combined 50-plus years of experience in United States and United Nations international diplomacy, will share their thoughts on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy plans as part of an event sponsored by the School of Law's Dean Rusk Center in cooperation with the Department of International Affairs and the Carl Vinson Institute of Government.

Barbara has worked in the areas of strategic policy planning, cultural administration and media relations for the advancement of U.S. foreign policy objectives abroad.
