The Transatlantic Forum assembles professionals of all backgrounds on a monthly basis to advance crucial dialogue between France and the United States. Forums are held virtually for the time being.
The mission of the Transatlantic Forum is twofold:
- to bring together a carefully selected group of well-networked professionals already established in their careers to engage in frank discussion on issues of common concern—politics, innovation, culture, and current events, among others;
- to build lasting friendships between its members.
Our last virtual Transatlantic Forum of the year (private event only for our Transatlantic Forum members) will be the following:
Title: “Kamala Harris makes history: What it means for the U.S. to have the first female vice president-elect?”.
Date: Wednesday, December 9 at 6:00 pm EST
Moderator: Heather Ichord, Program Manager in the Human Systems Portfolio at the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and Transatlantic Forum member.

For the first time since the coronavirus outbreak hit the United States, the country has added more than one million cases in each of the past two consecutive weeks. Covid deaths, which lag reported cases by weeks, are also at a level not seen since the spring.
There are 88,080 people currently hospitalized with Covid-19, setting a record for hospitalizations amid a continuing fall surge, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
In Pennsylvania, if you’re having friends over to socialize, you’re supposed to wear a mask — and so are your friends. That’s the rule, but Barb Chestnut has no intention of following it. “No one is going to tell me what I can or not do in my own home,” said Chestnut, 60, of Shippensburg. “They do not pay my bills and they are not going to tell me what to do.”

FRENCH SERIES 2020
Open to the public
The Embassy of France in the U.S. is pleased to invite you to a conversation with Robert Zoellick, former President of the World Bank & 1994 Young Leader, about his latest book: America in the world: A History of U.S. Diplomacy and Foreign Policy. The discussion will be moderated by Steve Clemons, editor at large, the Hill.
Date and Time: Thursday, December 10 at 5:00 pm EST
The book identifies five traditions that have emerged from America's encounters with the world: the importance of North America; the importance of trading, transnational, and technological relations; changing attitudes toward alliances; the importance of public support; and the belief that American policy should serve a larger purpose.
Robert B. Zoellick's bio:
He has served as Deputy Secretary of State, U.S. Trade Representative, and President of the World Bank. Earlier in his career, Zoellick served as Counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury and Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House and Assistant to President George W. Bush. Zoellick is now a Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
