Senator Chuck Hagel
(R-Ne) to Address World Affairs Council of Charlotte Members
at Speaker Series Luncheon
“America Our Next
Chapter”
Charlotte, N.C.- The World Affairs
Council of Charlotte will host Senator Chuck Hagel, 2-term
Republican senator from Nebraska and author of “America:
The Next Chapter: Tough Questions, Straight Answers” at
a luncheon on Thursday, October 30th, 12:30 p.m.
at the Charlotte City Club. The lunch presentation will
provide a thoughtful analysis of American foreign policy
(and domestic policy), the future of America and its role in
the world within the framework of Senator Hagel’s book.
In his
two terms in the US Senate, Senator Hagel has been known to
be pro-active, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and outspoken
political leader. As one of the Senate's leading Republican
lawmakers, he has challenged the policies of the current
Administration by expressing concerns about the war in Iraq.
By breaking ranks, he’s drawn cautious admiration from
individuals and groups from the other side of the
ideological sphere.
As the
author of “America: Our Next Chapter,” Senator Hagel’s
vision of an effective American foreign policy is guided by
views of international diplomacy. It includes building
strategic alliances and partnering with international
organizations while reaffirming America’s commitment to
democracy, free trade, international peace and global
security. On the home front, he’s a supporter of smaller
government, responsible government spending, and the
introduction of reforms to reduce costs of entitlement
programs.
Registration for the luncheon is $55 for WACC members and
$65 for non-members. His book, “America: Our Next Chapter”
will be made available for sale at the luncheon.
