Sunday Wine, Coffee and Tour After refreshments and remarks in the stunning sun-filled loggia, Adriana Ospina, director of the Art Museum of the Americas (AMA), and Pablo Zuñiga, former AMA director and current FAMA board member, will take us on an intimate tour of two exhibitions on two floors that illustrate the richness of AMA's collection. AMA is the first art museum in the United States primarily devoted to exhibiting works of modern and contemporary art from Latin America and the Caribbean. Intersections Exquisite works represent a breadth of print practices in Canada that push the boundaries of printmaking and represent, among others, the diverse voices of women and Indigenous artists, whose stories, identities and experiences have been erased and silenced in society. Transatlantic Encounters: Latin American Artists in Paris, 1920-1970 Works reveal the creative involvement of artists from Latin America who went to Paris in the years between 1920 and 1970, where they engaged with nearly every major modernist movement, including cubism, surrealism, and the different variants of abstraction that arose after World War II. This is a FAMA members-only event for supporters belonging to the Friends of the Art Museum of the Americas, and is limited to 25 guests. Make your reservation(s) today! If you or your guest are not current members of FAMA, you may purchase your membership in the ticket section (one for each person) of the Eventbrite page. Visit www.friendsama.org for more information about membership privileges, to become a member, to renew your membership, and check for upcoming events.

We’ve added an ICE Watch hotline to report sightings and arrests, accompaniment to ICE check-ins and court hearings, Know Your Rights presentations, all while continuing to provide monthly pro se asylum clinics, resettlement support for families moving out of shelters, perinatal support and grocery distribution. Your $20 ticket includes a special punch cup, your first drink and a MSMA sticker.

Foreign policy during the Cold War served as a model for the US for decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but recent years have shown increased dissatisfaction with US international leadership and alliance management—whether you look at Obama's reduction in US commitment to NATO, Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan, or Trump's sharp breaks with NATO and challenges to international trade. Is international leadership no longer central to US security and prosperity? Or do the costs of leadership simply exceed the benefits? Does the US need to reduce its international role and commitments, or is this reduced international footprint a mistake? Join us for a talk with Frank Lavin (SAIS '90), where he will explore this question and other aspects of US foreign policy! About the Speaker Lavin served in the Reagan White House and National Security Council, the Bush 41 Commerce Department, and in the Bush 43 Administration, he served as US Ambassador to Singapore and Undersecretary for International Trade at the US Department of Commerce. In addition to his SAIS degree, he holds degrees from Georgetown (BScFS and MA Chinese) and Penn (MBA Finance). He discusses Cold War foreign policy in his latest book, Inside the Reagan White House . Information Source: Johns Hopkins SAIS Foreign Policy Institute (FPI) | eventbrite

OUR LIBERATOR: ST. JOSEPH & THE PRIESTS OF DACHAU In the spring of 1945, the Roman Catholic priest inmates of the Dachau Concentration Camp began a novena to St Joseph, praying for their liberation. On April 29, nine days later — just a few hours before the scheduled destruction of the camp — all prisoners were liberated. This Knights of Columbus film tells their remarkable true story and the power of intercessory prayer. The event will include a showing of the film followed by a discussion and reception.   Information Source: Saint John Paul II National Shrine | eventbrite

We all want more productive and mission-driven teams, but the relentless pace and pressure of today's workplace takes a toll on everyone. When stress builds up, communication breaks down, priorities get fuzzy, and morale suffers. To thrive, we must recognize that mental health is corporate health. It shapes how we lead and how we synergize with our team. Every day, whether we realize it or not, we're influencing our team's mental wellbeing. Each meeting we run, policy we implement, and check-in we conduct either strengthens or weakens trust. So, how do we create environments where honest conversations can flourish, boosting adaptability, connection, and results? In this actionable FEDTalk, D r. Carylynn Larson shares the mindset shift and practical tools organizations need to build a professional ecosystem that encourages not only meaningful communication but also how to translate intent into action. Drawing from lived experience, powerful storytelling—including a conversation that changed her life—and decades of research in workplace psychology, she reframes mental health as a foundation for trust, engagement, and performance. You’ll leave with Dr. Larson’s “Recipe for Healing Community”, a three-part blueprint to: Advance from resilience to innovation Build agile and high-performing teams Promote a proactive approach to workplace mental health About Dr. Carylynn Larson Dr. Carylynn Kemp Larson is a dynamic professional speaker who helps leaders and teams navigate change and build resilient, connected cultures.
