Dear Members and Friends,

I am excited to announce that on Wednesday, 1 April, we will hear from Ambassador
John Bolton. As you probably know, he is the former Assistant to President Trump for
National Security Affairs and former US Permanent Representative to the United
Nations under President George W. Bush. As his recent book (The Room Where it
Happened ) declares, he had a front-row seat to foreign policy challenges facing our
country.

Prior to his appointment, Ambassador Bolton served as Under Secretary of State for
Arms Control and International Security from May 2001 to May 2005.
Previous positions he has held include assistant secretary for International Organization
Affairs at the Department of State, 1989-1993; assistant attorney general, Department
of Justice, 1985-1989; assistant administrator for Program and Policy Coordination,
U.S. Agency for International Development, 1982-1983 and general counsel, U.S.
Agency for International Development, 1981-1982.Ambassador Bolton was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated with a Bachelor of
Arts degree, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Yale College in 1970, and
received his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 1974. He currently resides in
Maryland with his wife, Gretchen. They have one daughter, Jennifer Sarah.

This is one you won’t want to miss and you may reserve a seat for this after March 11.

Best regards,

Phil Reynolds

President, International Club of Annapolis
