Hunger Won't Wait

This year's Forum is occurring at a critical time. In a time of spiking food prices, coupled with a global economic downturn, nearly one billion people are hungry. As you will see from the program, the Forum will include an overview of the issues, as well as interactive discussion with experts. Arrive at 8:00 a.m. in case there is a crowd at the entrance to the Capitol Visitor Center. We will have breakfast and networking with colleagues for the hour preceding the Forum. We have plenty of room in the auditorium -- encourage many of your colleagues to register early.

See you there!
