George J. Mitchell is the famed former Senate Majority Leader. He was the primary architect of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement for peace in Northern Ireland, chairman of The Walt Disney Company, US Special Envoy for Middle East Peace, and the author of the Mitchell Report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.  He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999.

But when he served as US Special Envoy for Middle East Peace from 2009 to 2011, working to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, diplomacy did not prevail.  Now, for the first time, Mitchell offers his insider account of how the Israelis and the Palestinians have progressed (and regressed) in their negotiations through the years and outlines the specific concessions each side must make to finally achieve lasting peace.

With the Middle East on fire, the rise of ISIS, Israel under increased threat, a decline in the Palestinian situation, this will be a very timely and important event with one of the foremost leaders in the world with an unique insider's view. 

$39 per attendee, includes a copy of A Path To Peace. 6:30-7:00pm cash bar reception, 7:00pm lecture. Advance reservations required by Wednesday, November 23, at which time they are considered final sale.
