  • 1990 Goodwill Games
    INSPECTOR GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF DE:FENSE 400 ARMY NAVV DRIVE ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 22202·2884 REPORT NO. 91-014 November 23, 1990 MEMORANDUM FOR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (FORCE MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL) DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT SUBJECT: Report on the Audit of the 1990 Goodwill Games Introduction This is our report on the Audit of the 1990 Goodwill Games. The audit was requested by the Office of Economic Adjustment. The audit objective was to determine whether adequate controls existed over financial operations for the 1990 Goodwill Games and whether the financial operations were conducted in accordance with DoD policy and guidelines. Discussion The audit determined that adequate controls existed over financial operations for the 1990 Goodwill Games and that the financial operations were generally conducted in accordance with DoD policy and guidelines. Funds appropriated for the support of the 1990 Goodwill Games were judiciously managed, and it is likely that of the nearly $20 million appropriated, $8 million will not be spent. We found certain deficiencies that we brought to management's attention during the audit. Suggestions for improvement either had been or were being implemented at the time of this report. Internal Controls The audit disclosed no internal control weaknesses as defined by Public Law 97-255, Office of Management and Budget Circular A-123, and DoD Directive 5010.38. Scope of Audit We evaluated the adequacy and effectiveness of established financial and operating procedures, including the separation of duties for review and approval of DoD support, the qualifications of DoD personnel, and procedures for issuing and controlling the return of materials loaned to the 1990 Goodwill Games and obtaining reimbursement for lost or destroyed i terns.

  • Glasnost & Goodwill Highlights Washington's Grassroots Cold War
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 28, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT: Julianna Verboort, Marketing and Communications Director, Washington State Historical Society, 253-798-5902, [email protected] Visionaries and risk takers: Glasnost & Goodwill highlights Washington’s grassroots Cold War activists Tacoma, WA - By the 1980s, there were thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at the United States, and an equal number targeted at the Soviet Union. The arms race was running out of control and only a vague notion of “mutually assured destruction” stood between war and peace for the world’s superpowers. And yet, citizens did not sit idly by. Quietly a movement formed, built by citizen diplomats who reached across the Pacific to engage their neighbors, one conversation at a time. Washingtonians, in particular, saw an opportunity to bring peace with their neighbors through business partnerships, sister-city relationships, and cultural exchanges. Presented by the Washington State Historical Society, Glasnost and Goodwill: Citizen Diplomacy in the Northwest is an invigorating plunge into how citizen diplomacy in Washington and the greater Northwest contributed to the thawing of the Cold War. Glasnost & Goodwill is brought to life through compelling photographs, rare videos, fascinating oral histories, and authentic artifacts that trace the rise of grassroots diplomacy in Northwest from the late 1930s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Many of the citizen activists contributed to and were involved in creating the exhibition. Their stories reveal the levels of fear and hope that drove their unprecedented actions. In 1987, Lynne Cox became the first person to swim the Bering Strait between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Waller was voted by his peers the National Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004 and the West Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2018. Along with his collegiate coaching success, Waller has had tremendous suc- cess as a club coach, coaching UCLA alumna Mohini Bhardwaj to a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in 2004. Bhardwaj was team captain of the squad that won a silver medal, competing in the all-around during prelims and on three of four events in the team ! nal.

  • Women of Vision Ms 52
    1 Women of Vision Ms 52 Background Information: Women of Vision is a nonprofit organization whose members are a group of community leaders in Tacoma, Washington, organized to create opportunities to effect change for the betterment of women of all nationalities through the development, support, and promotion of all women as leaders and through international and intercultural communication among women. Women of Vision is a small, facilitative, action-oriented group that organizes and sponsors opportunities for women to come together to increase their understanding of one another, explore opportunities open to them and be aware of the obligation they have assumed. All funds raised by the all volunteer, nonprofit organization are used to further its goals, as the organization does not maintain an office or a staff. Throughout the world, women have traditionally had positions in society that provided for less than the standard quality of life. Though the United States has made great strides in developing a more fair and equal system for women, there still exists a wide disparity in opportunities open to women. In many other nations, women experience less than humane conditions as an accepted way of living. Women of Vision uses the conferences to dis cuss the various issues facing women throughout the world regardless of location. Each conference deals with a different theme and brings together women from different countries. The 1990 Goodwill Games Conference marked the first international conference held by Women of Vision in which they brought women delegates from the Soviet Union to Tacoma for roundtable discussions on women’s issues.
