Global Leader 2010 Global Leader DinnerDate: February 16, 2010Time: 6:00 p.m.—9:00 p.m. Location: Grand Hyatt Seattle 721 Pine Street, Seattle WA 98101 Keynote Speaker: Rick Steves, renowned writer of European travel guidebooks and host of travel shows on public television and public radio. This February, OneWorld Now! held its Sixth Annual Global Leader Dinner. This event raised money to support our students, our organization, and study abroad scholarships. Rick Steves--Author of 30 European travel guidebooks and host of the PBS-TV series, Rick Steves' Europe--believes that thoughtful travel expands our world view and shapes how we address the challenges confronting our nation politically. Having spent four months a year overseas for the last 25 years, Rick feels that travel helps us "challenge truths we were raised to think were self-evident and God-given." His classes have helped millions of Americans not only enjoy maximum travel thrills per mile, minute and euro...but become better citizens of our planet. Rick shares how the other 96 percent of humanity sees our nation and explores how his social activism has grown naturally out of his travel experiences. He's fresh back from lots of travels (including a TV production trip to Iran) and will be on hand after his talk for questions and autographs. Rick spoke on "Travel as a Political Act" - how experiencing the world through travel helps us understand its inhabitants. Learn more about Rick Steves at his website: www.ricksteves.com. Questions?

2007 Global Leader Dinner 2006 Global Leaders Dinner "We are honored and excited to have William H. Gates as our keynote speaker for our Global Leaders Dinner Series", said OneWorld Now! Founder and Executive Director Kristin Hayden. "At OneWorld Now!, we recognize the significant value of language learning and sending our young people abroad as citizen diplomats, as well as the importance of making these opportunities accessible for everyone! This generation has the ability to shift the paradigm towards a new mindset reflecting one world and one human race, instead of the "us" versus "them" mentality. The Gates Foundation is a leader in its philanthropic efforts to make the world a better place and we believe William H. Gates is a great role model and global leader."
