Athar Abbas and Network 2020
Military briefing with Major General Athar Abbas during lunch, Pakistan, May 2008
Network 20/20 is an independent, nonprofit organization that helps prepare rising and established leaders in the U.S. to participate meaningfully in the global public policy debate, through lectures and briefings here and field research projects abroad.
These multi-generational professionals and their counterparts overseas form a growing network aimed at using civic engagement and reality-based policies to enhance global peace and prosperity.
I have watched Network 20/20 grow from a small start-up into a dynamic organization for next-generation leaders in America dedicated to global peace and security. I’ve selected a Network 20/20 member to serve as my local media advisor and translator in Pakistan.
