James Martin Center For Nonproliferation Studies Plans 20th Anniversary Celebration
This
year marks the 20th anniversary of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation
Studies (CNS). To celebrate this special occasion, we will hold two major events
in Monterey and Washington, DC.
The
Monterey-based celebration will be held on December 3-5, 2009 and will consist
of an expert conference and public event devoted to "The Power of
Nonproliferation Education and Training." The conference will feature
CNS alumni who have assumed senior government, international organization, NGO, and
academic positions in the nonproliferation field, as well as other distinguished
nonproliferation analysts and policy practitioners. A gala celebratory event
also is planned for the evening of December 5, 2009. An additional
anniversary conference will be held in Washington, D.C. in June
2010.
Over
the past two decades, CNS has dedicated itself to training the next generation
of nonproliferation specialists and raising global public awareness of WMD
issues. Many CNS alumni are actively involved in the nonproliferation
field internationally and are making a significant contribution to the
achievement of a more peaceful and secure
world.
Although
the first of our special anniversary events is still many months away, please
save the December 2009 date on your calendar. Please also check this site for
more details in the coming months about both the Monterey and Washington DC
anniversary events. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate
to contact me or CNS events manager, Ms. Edith Bursac (edith.bursac@miis.edu).
