    A NNUAL R EPORT 2003 Americas Society Americas Council of the Americas Council Dear Friends: I am delighted to report that the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society took unprecedented steps in 2003 to renew and reinvigorate our commitment to our mission and our members. Last August, Susan Segal was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Susan had been a member of the Board of Directors for eight years when I charged her with the task of chairing a Strategic Planning Committee. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by our Board. Thus, it made sense to appoint her to implement it. At a time of profound change in the Americas, Susan has the energy and the vision to assure that the organization continues to play a leading role in affecting the central concerns of the region. Since the latter half of 2003, we have taken significant steps to execute our new strategic plan. Our first priority was to assemble a first-class senior management team open to new ideas and committed to an efficiently run organization capable of top-tier execution. Under this team’s leadership, the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society have made significant strides in accomplishing our mission of being the preeminent U.S.-based not-for-profit organization solely committed to addressing current foreign policy, trade, economic, political, and cultural issues of the Western Hemisphere. We are very excited about our direction and remain steadfast in our desire to exercise significant influence on hemispheric policy on behalf of our members and in support of our core values, which include democracy, the rule of law, and free trade.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.
