The American University Caribbean Circle will be hosting a formal dinner Friday to discuss future U.S.-Caribbean relations under the new presidential administration, according to Nigel Franklin, president of the group.
There will be several Caribbean ambassadors in attendance who will act as panelists during a discussion held before the dinner according to Franklin.
"Panelists will each share their perspective on how President-Elect Barack Obama will shape U.S. diplomacy in the Caribbean, [and] questions from the audience will follow," Franklin said.
Franklin said people should attend the event because it will be a good opportunity to network.
"[People should attend] to get an opportunity to network with ambassadors, especially if they are interested in foreign policy, and to meet their ambassadors on a personal level, for those people with Caribbean backgrounds," Franklin said.
The event will take place in the University Club Friday, Nov. 21, and is open to the D.C. community. Tickets are being sold in advance for $10 and can be purchased at Student Activities or at the door the day of the event for $15.
