[Lwvcnmtopics] League of Women Voters meeting on Thursday at 12:15 p.m.

Sun Dec 6 16:21:48 MST 2020

Hello Fellow Leaguers

The League of Women Voters of Central New Mexico will hold our December
meeting on Thursday, December 10 at 12:15.  That start is a little later
than usual in order to accommodate our speaker's schedule. She will be
speaking on the delicate state of U.S. democracy and what we can learn from
the November election.

Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld advises governments, philanthropists, and activists on
how democracies make major social change. She received her BA from Yale
University and her Masters and PhD in Philosophy at Oxford University, where
she was a Rhodes Scholar. She is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace, Rachel is a leading expert on how democracies -
including the United States - can improve, with a particular focus on
countries facing poor leadership, polarized populations, violence, and
corruption. 

In 2010, Time magazine named Rachel one of the top 40 political leaders
under 40 in America. As the founding CEO of the Truman National Security
Project, she spent a decade building and leading a national organization
head-quartered in Washington, D.C., with a membership of over 80,000
supporters and chapters in most major U.S. cities. Under her leadership, the
Truman Project assisted scores of national, state, and local candidates and
elected officials, advocated for legislation nationally and in multiple
states, and fostered a new generation of military veterans and national
security leaders to advance policies that would enhance global security,
democracy, and human dignity. 

Her writings include the following: Advancing the Rule of Law Abroad: Next
Generation Reform (Carnegie, 2012), which was chosen by Foreign Affairs
magazine as one of the best foreign policy books of 2012. She has also
co-authored Let There Be Light: Electrifying the Developing World with
Markets and Distributed Generation (Truman Institute, 2012). She has
contributed to the following publications: Relocating the Rule of Law (Hart,
2009), Promoting Democracy and the Rule of Law: Ameri-can and European
Strategies (Palgrave, 2009), The Future of Human Rights (Philadelphia UP,
2008), Promoting the Rule of Law: The Problem of Knowledge (Carnegie
Endowment, 2006), With All Our Might (Rowen and Littlefield, 2006). 

Rachel serves on the boards of various for-profit companies and social
sector organizations that align with her passion for issues on the
intersections of security, human dignity, and empowerment. From 2011-2014
she served on the State Department's Foreign Affairs Policy Board, which
advised the Secretary of State quarterly. Rachel lives in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, with her husband, a sculptor, and their two daughters. 

This notice is being sent to other leagues in the state and we may have
guests at our meeting.
