She is currently a leading candidate for the presidential elections in 2014 and was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2009. Before her election to Parliament, Koofi was employed by UNICEF as a child protection officer. Koofi has made her leadership journey in a country of harsh topography, internal conflict, intermittent wars and a militant government. She completed high school during the war ravaged years and entered a competitive medical school. But soon after the Taliban took over in September 1995, and barred women from access to all education. Finding the doors of a university education closed to her, Fawzia focused her energy towards women's right organizations, and worked closely with one of the most vulnerable group such as Internally Displaced People, and marginalized women and children.

Senator Russ Feingold, one of America's most famous politic leaders, served in the United States Senate for 18 years. Senator Feingold is best known for his work with Senator John McCain to clean-up election campaign finance abuses, via the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002. The act bans soft money contributed to candidates and parties, thus closing the loophole that has significantly affected our national political priorities for the past decade. He aimed to blunt the influence of larger moneyed interests. He exhorted that the 2004 Democratic Convention was a corporate trade show. Senator Feingold was also the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act, was the first senator to propose a timetable to exit Iraq, and believes we need a timetable to leave Afghanistan. Amongst other things Senator Feingold will discuss: President Obama admits to Feingold he was right on Iraq: Russ I'm always with you--just six months later. eye rolling gaffes by Je - RSS Feed Powered by RunMyClub.com Fri, 3 Feb 2012 13:53:45 GMT 207083 - 2/3/2012 8:53:45 AM http://www.runmyclub.com/hudson/eventcalendar.asp?id=207053 By overwhelming member demand, the Society has added a Spring mixer. For the first two hours (we have increased it by an hour) free wine and beer (bottles of Heineken, Heineken Light and Corona) will be served, followed by a cash bar for the last hour. Come out of winter hibernation at the Society's Spring mixer (6:30P - 9:30P) at the hot-spot SPiN, in its private VIP lounge. Located off of Park Avenue in Manhattan's Flatiron District. Additionally it sports up to 16 top-quality table-tennis courts on cushioned Olympic-competition flooring. It was the recent setting for the widely popular HBO television series Entourage and Showtime's hit television series Nurse Jackie. Meet new people, and make new connections at the Spring mixer at one of the trendiest spots in New York. The Spring mixer like other Society mixers will be member driven, with no structure, so members can meet one another. All are welcomed, nevertheless, normally a demographic of under forty-nine attends.

While much has been written over the years about this prominent entertainment family, neither Martin Sheen nor Emilio Estevez has told their story together in person before. At a VERY RARE APPEARANCE at the Hudson Union Society they will break their silence together, offering a striking, often stirring, frequently funny story of two very different kinds of faith told from two viewpoints that are as different as they are eloquent. In person they will provide a very intimate conversation spanning more than fifty years of family history, of a creative father and son set against the background of Hollywood. They will discuss their profound bond with each other, and offer candid insight into their lives and careers.
