Former President Bill Clinton will share his insights and observations in a program entitled Embracing Our Common Humanity.
The event will take place at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m., in the venue’s Au-Rene Theater.
The evening will feature the 42nd President of the United States exploring the challenges of globalization, the growing interdependence of nations, and ways toward a common future based on shared goals and values.
“As Broward County’s official cultural embassy, the Broward Center for the Performing Arts plays an important role in promoting the exchange of ideas,” said Broward Center President and CEO Kelley Shanley. “We are pleased to have this opportunity to bring President Clinton to Broward County for this exclusive South Florida speaking engagement.”
After serving as President of the United States for eight years from 1993 to 2001, Clinton founded the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the U.S. and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence.
The Clinton Foundation includes staff and volunteers around the world working through several initiatives that address critical health issues, climate change, and sustainable growth in developing countries.
President Clinton was named United Nations Special Envoy for Haiti in 2009 following a series of devastating hurricanes. The appointment built on his longstanding commitment to Haiti while in the White House and his work through the Clinton Global Initiative, which has brought together thousands of world leaders, business executives, Nobel Peace Prize laureates, and innovative thinkers to take action to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems.
President Clinton and former President George W. Bush established the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund following the 2010 earthquake to raise funds for immediate, high-impact relief and long-term recovery efforts on the island.
