Madeleine K. Albright, 64th U.S. Secretary of State; Author, Memo to the President: How We Can Restore America's Reputation and Leadership

Dr. Gloria Duffy, President and CEO of The Commonwealth Club - Moderator

Albright set a precedent as the first woman secretary of state when she served under President Clinton. Today, the Obama administration faces a multitude of foreign policy concerns on every front; economic, social, political, environmental. As Secretary Hillary Clinton – now the third female in this position – settles into her new role, what lessons can Albright impart from her tenure in the State Department?

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California.
