Though I only joined this year, I've loved having so many opportunities to learn more about global issues from people directly involved. It has opened my eyes to so many issues and nuances that I would have had no idea about. It is tough to know what information is real anymore, but the people I've met and presentations I've seen give first-hand commentary which is truly fascinating.”
