After holding two training sessions, the PSR-LA Ambassador Program: Health Professionals and Nuclear Policy, is shaping up to be the premier health professional voice on peace and security issues in Southern California.
The featured speaker of the inaugural September 20th training was Sharon Squassoni of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. Dr. Bennett Ramberg also presented on nuclear terrorism risks, and our host, Professor Wayne Glass discussed the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as well as effective policy advocacy skills.
At the November 8th training, Bruce Bennett PhD, Senior Defense Analyst for RAND (pictured left), discussed the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) and nuclear policy challenges for the next administration. Professor Wayne Glass also lent insight into NPR considerations and opened the way for the in-depth discussion and the group advocacy planning that followed.
Many thanks to all the presenters and Ambassadors.
