    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.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

    WSJ Magazine June 9, 2021 GAGOSIAN See Candid Photos of Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk Art collector and tech investor Jean Pigozzi’s latest book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the men who shaped him. Alan Light Keith Richards and Mick Jagger PHOTO: © JEAN PIGOZZI “Now everybody is a photographer — even my dog can take pictures,” says Jean Pigozzi. “But there are a lot of bad pictures. I use my iPhone to take a picture of a chair that I want to buy, or some car, but I never use it to take portraits.” When Pigozzi was 9, his father — the founder of Simca automobiles — gave him a Brownie camera. He decided that he would document everything around him. “When I put my socks on in the morning,” he says on the phone from his home in Los Angeles, “I always put a camera in my pocket, and every day I take three or four pictures.” Sixty years later, these pictures have chronicled quite a life; Pigozzi is a tech investor and art collector (he has assembled the world’s largest private collection of contemporary African art) and has worked in film, hosted a TV show and designed a clothing line. Pigozzi’s newest book of personal photographs, out this week from Vidoun. PHOTO: F. MARTIN RAMIN FOR WSJ. MAGAZINE Pigozzi’s social circle is wide and eye-popping, as documented in his new book, The 213 Most Important Men in My Life, out this week. It collects candid shots of his close friends and men he has admired from a distance, representing his ease mingling with rock stars, movie directors, billionaires and artists — from Warhol to Bono, Pelé to Fellini, Belushi to Mandela.
