At the TCFR: "Forging a New Model for U.S. Engagement in the Middle East"

Aired on Thursday, May 27th.

Our guest is Ambassador Richard LeBaron, who retired from the U.S. diplomatic service in April 2012 after a 33-year career. In his final position at the U.S. Department of State, LeBaron was the founding Coordinator of the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications. Currently, he is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council in Washington. He recently gave an address at the Tulsa Committee on Foreign Relations -- the first in-person event the TCFR has presented in over a year (due to the pandemic). That address, which LeBaron tells us about, was on "Forging a New Model for U.S. Engagement in the Middle East."

Rich Fisher is celebrating his 40th year of service to Public Radio Tulsa.
