After an out pouring of requests by our membership, we are most fortunate to have Dr. Paul Jabber return to us for our October 13 meeting. He is an expert on the Middle East after years of senior management positions in the field of Middle East banking. Additionally he was the Director of the Middle East Program at the Council on Foreign Relations and was consultant in international security for The Rand Corporation, with a principal focus on control of conventional and nuclear weapons proliferation, and military systems performance assessment in the Middle East. Following the terror attacks on 9/11 of 2001, he served for almost seven years at the Counterterrorism Center of the Central Intelligence Agency.
With the rapidly changing events in the Middle East we are indeed fortunate to have him give us an up to date perspective on the potential effects that could result from the events occurring at the time of his presentation in the October.
