UNA-USA Fireside Chat: The Future of NATO, Transatlantic Security, and Global Leadership

​Join us for an engaging fireside chat with Julianne Smith, former United States Ambassador to NATO, as we explore the future of transatlantic security, alliance dynamics, and global leadership in today’s evolving geopolitical landscape.

​Hosted by me, United Nations Association of the United States of America Global Goals Ambassador for SDG 16 and UN Representative at DMUN Foundation, alongside co-moderator Alan E. Cavagnaro, UNA-USA Global Goals Ambassador for SDG 11, this conversation will examine NATO’s response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, alliance unity, enlargement with Finland and Sweden, and emerging threats including cyber, AI, and hybrid warfare.

​We will also discuss U.S. leadership within NATO, strategic competition, and what lies ahead for transatlantic cooperation in a multipolar world. Open to students, young professionals, and anyone interested in foreign policy, national security, and global governance.

​This event will be live-streamed on May 19 from 10AM-11AM.
