We’re so pleased to have you with us for CWA 2016! Behind the scenes, a great deal of work has been done by many hands over the last year to construct a comprehensive CWA strategic plan, a new CWA governance structure, and our first-ever Board. Allow me to highlight just a few features of these achievements. • The 2015 CWA strategic plan calls for a conference that enhances its ability to educate, engage, and inspire; a conference that is of ever-higher quality and visibility; a more diverse conference; and a conference that is financially sustainable so that it will remain free of charge for future generations. • Our new governance structure cements another central feature of the strategic plan – that the conference remain a collaborative partnership between the University and the broader community. This is reflected in a partition of responsibility whereby the Program Committee of community and student volunteers is responsible for recruiting our speakers and designing the content, and our CU staff is responsible for conference logistics, marketing, and fundraising. • Our Board consists of 4 elected community members, 4 University representatives, and a CU student, and is responsible for setting the policies of the CWA. As for conference improvements that are more readily observable, our Board has approved a number of features for 2016 based on suggestions from CWA friends and supporters. • A free, downloadable CWA “App” has been created to allow you to build your own schedule, find venues, rate panels, eceiver updates, and more. I encourage you to give it a try. • CWA @ Night features panels, films, and more after 5:00 p.m. to make the CWA more accessible to working professionals and students busy with classes during the work day. • CWA 2016 is complemented by a wealth of concurrent events to enhance the conference experience like never before, from a celebration of CU’s Arts programs to a birthday party for Shakespeare to salsa lessons, to a conceptual micro-conference put on by CU students. We hope you’ll give us your feedback on these enhancements, and all aspects of the conference. The best way to do that is to sign up for our updates and communications by visiting www.colorado.edu/cwa or by sending an email to [email protected], or by downloading the CWA app! Thank you for being part of CWA 2016. We’re certain you’ll be the richer for it. John Griffin, Faculty Director 04 cwa.colorado.edu Welcome to the Sixty-eighth Annual Conference on World Affairs presented by the University of Colorado and the community of Boulder. Under our new organizational structure, I was voted the Community Chair of the conference last spring by the Programming Committee which consists of community volunteers and CU students. I have been a volunteer for the conference for the last 18 years, working, most recently as the community co-chair for Politics & Media as well as the Housing Committee. The wonderful speakers I have met and the intellectual stimulation every year is important, but the opportunity to work with the students and watch them grow in confidence and maturity each year is why I continue to work with the conference. This year has been an exciting and inspiring time for all of us who volunteered our time and talents to bring the conference to the community and the University. We are committed to the ideals that have been the foundation of this organization for the past 68 years but we also want to remain open and responsive to program, community and student-focused enhancements. This conference will continue the tradition of bringing interesting and challenging speakers from all over the world. This week is packed with an exciting keynote, stimulating plenaries, exciting performances, thought-provoking panels, and the chance for you to listen, question and meet amazing people from all over the world. I’d like to thank our committee of volunteers who worked tirelessly to build this conference. Most of them joined the committee because they love the conference and they believe in it, but many knew nothing of the efforts required to attract and organize 100 participants into 220 panels and presentations. Everyone learned quickly and brought enthusiasm, fantastic ideas, connections, and a willingness to work until the program was good (and we believe it is better than good). I’d like to thank each of your for attending our conference and bringing your inquisitiveness, your interest and your enthusiasm to our gathering. Thank you for allowing us to share our passion and our conference with you.
