The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic, business, and oceans policy issues through analysis and dialogue undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. Founded in 1975, it collaborates with a broad network of research institutes from around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating project findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and members of the public throughout the region. The Young Leaders Program The Young Leaders Program invites young professionals and scholars to join Pacific Forum policy dialogues and conferences. The program fosters education in the practical aspects of policy-making, generates an exchange of views between young and seasoned professionals, builds adaptive leadership capacity, promotes interaction among younger professionals from different cultures, and enriches dialogues with generational perspectives for all attendees. Young Leaders must have a strong background in the area covered by the conference they are attending and an endorsement from respected experts in their field. Supplemental programs in conference host cities and mentoring sessions with senior officials and specialists add to the Young Leader experience. The Young Leaders Program is possible with generous funding support by governments and philanthropic foundations, together with a growing number of universities, institutes, and organizations also helping to sponsor individual participants.

Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.

    World Sports Values Summit Report 2015

    World Sports Values Summit for Peace and Development Meeting Report Cape Town, South Africa 2-3 November, 2015 “Cape Town – a beacon of hope and courage to the world.” Foreword 3 The World Sports Values Summit 2015 was held in Cape Town following successful previous summits in London, Tokyo and New York. Sport plays a crucial role in Africa’s development and has at various times served as an instrument for building unity and promoting reconciliation. That is a key reason why the fourth annual Summit was held in Cape Town. The city and South Africa are beacons of hope and courage to the world. Nelson Mandela understood the power of sport to bring people together. Football matches on Robben Island united members of the African National Congress while they were imprisoned. He recognized its power to tackle and reframe racial challenges as seen in his courageous gestures of unity amidst the 1995 Rugby World Cup, hosted and won by a newly united South Africa. He also understood the great symbolic power of sport; one of his last public appearances was at the final of the South Africa 2010 World Cup. The annual Sports Values Summits each focus on the extraordinary role that sport can play in human life. Sport brings disparate peoples together and helps to advance cooperation, development, and even peace. The athletes and leaders who gathered in Cape Town brought direct experience of what can be achieved. With each Summit we seek to learn from promising practices and to determine what we might achieve together in advancing the valuable role that sport can have in modern society.
