    Founder’s Welcome Dear friends of the Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD), Welcome to the 2014 ACYD Summary Report, The ACYD is the pre-eminent track two Australia-China early career leaders forum. This year, as in the four years prior, the ACYD team searched for 30 delegates in Australia, China, and across the globe with the goal of finding the most diverse range of Australian and Chinese under the age of 35, committed to the Australia-China relationship. Our 2014 ACYD delegates represent a rich array of backgrounds: government officials; finance and law professionals; graduate school candidates at leading international universities; high-level political advisors; fashion experts; and researchers engaged in cutting edge humanities investigations. This years delegates will join the ranks of another 120 outstanding ACYD delegate alumni who have, or are moving into, positions of influence and leadership across the spectrum of the Australia-China dynamic. We believe that the depth, breadth, and growing scale of the ACYD alumni network – past delegates and ACYD team members – presents a fellowship of unparalleled access. That is, access to networks and peer support between high-performing, upwardly mobile Australians and Chinese drawn from a range of sectors shaping the future of the Australia-China relationship. Our alumni are united by a common bond of public service and dedication to promoting an inclusive, peaceful, and mutually-beneficial bilateral relationship. The ACYD team is extremely proud of the work we carried out to produce this year’s successful ACYD. For the ACYD team, our return on investment for hundreds of accumulated people hours of work is bringing together a world- class concentration Ambassador Frances Adamson with the 2014 ACYD delegates, organisers and friends of delegates and speakers to explore, in an intimate yet powerful setting, the nuances and intricacies of the state of the bilateral relationship.

  • Sierra Club California Endorses Jeff Bleich for California Lieutenant Governor
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 3, 2018 Contact: Max Wertheimer, (415) 302-1584, [email protected] Sierra Club California Endorses Jeff Bleich for California Lieutenant Governor Oakland, CA – Today, Sierra Club California, one of the oldest and largest environmental organizations in the country, endorsed Jeff Bleich for Lieutenant Governor of California. Jeff is a long-time passionate environmentalist and a demonstrated leader. He has the skills, experience, and vision to move California forward, and to use the Lt. Governor’s positions on the Coastal Commission, Oceans Council, and Land Commission to stand up to Donald Trump’s continued assault on California’s precious natural resources. "Jeff Bleich innately understands why Californians care so much about our environment,” said Kathryn Phillips, director of Sierra Club California. “He gets why advancing equity and environmental justice are essential to protect public health and the planet. He has experience as a lawyer and a public servant that prepare him for the duties of Lieutenant Governor, including those important duties that influence how the state addresses state lands, coastal waters, and natural resources. Hands down, he’s the best candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2018 and we’re proud to give him Sierra Club’s endorsement.” A lifelong Democrat, a highly respected attorney, educator, diplomat, and a former senior counsel for President Obama, Jeff has been a staunch advocate for the environment for over thirty years. As a student, Jeff studied environmental policy, worked for the Conservation Law Foundation to protect national seashores, and served as the editor of the Ecology Law Quarterly at UC Berkeley School of Law.
