A CONVERSATION WITH SECRETARY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
Moderated by TBC
Presented by Guild Hall & The Common Good
Series programmed by Ellen Chesler and Patricia Duff
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton—former First Lady, U.S. Senator from New York, U.S. Secretary of State, two-time presidential candidate, bestselling author, and Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia—has spent decades at the center of American public life and global diplomacy. From advocating for women’s rights on the world stage to navigating moments of crisis and change in U.S. foreign policy, Secretary Clinton has engaged with some of the most complex challenges facing the world.
She brings a deeply informed and wide-ranging perspective on diplomacy, development, and national security, touching on war and peace, shifting alliances, and the evolving role of the United States in a rapidly changing global landscape. At a time of uncertainty and realignment, Secretary Clinton offers both hard-earned insight and a clear-eyed view of what global leadership and cooperation might look like in the years ahead.
