Commonwealth Club of California
I am very happy and humbled to share that I have been invited to be a guest speaker in Iran for the Commonwealth Club of California, the oldest and largest public affairs forum in the United States. Last year’s invited speaker in Iran on Iranian affairs was author and veteran Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times correspondent Stephen Kinzer.
Other notable speakers in the history of the Club have included U.S. presidents back to Teddy Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Gates, Mikhail Gorbachev, Kofi Annan, Robert F. Kennedy, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The mission of The Commonwealth Club of California is to be the leading national forum open to all for the impartial discussion of important public issues. The Club also hosts a weekly radio broadcast (the oldest in the U.S. — it dates back to 1924) — which is broadcast on more than 230 public and commercial radio stations.
