Dear John,

The Board of Directors and staff invite you to join us online for our 2020 Annual Meeting ([link removed]) from 12:30pm to 3:00pm on Tuesday, December 1.

No matter who occupies the White House in 2021, the next U.S. administration and other world leaders will need to move quickly to make decisions on a range of key issues. These decisions and outcomes—and the efforts we make to influence them—will shape the international security landscape for years to come.

Our online global gathering will bring together members, friends, colleagues, and policymakers in virtual plenary and breakout sessions to examine approaches for steering arms control efforts back on course in the coming decade, including:
* "The Future of New START and the U.S.-Russian Nuclear Arms Control," with chief U.S. New START negotiator Rose Gottemoeller

* "How Can We Diversify and Strengthen the Nuclear Disarmament Movement" a plenary discussion with Amb. Bonnie Jenkins (WCAPS), Cecili Thompson-Williams (Beyond the Bomb), Prof. Vincent Intondi (author of African Americans Against the Bomb), and ACA executive director Daryl Kimball

* "How Can We Bring Down the Skyrocketing Costs of Nuclear Weapons," with Kingston Reif, ACA Director for Disarmament and Threat Reduction Policy

* "Options for Engaging Other Nuclear-Armed States in the Disarmament Enterprise," with former acting undersecretary of state and ACA Board Chair Thomas Countryman and Prof. Heather Williams from King's College London

* "The Impact of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons," with negotiating conference president Amb. Elayne Whyte Gomez

* "Reviving and Building on the Iran Nuclear Deal"

* "Strengthening the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty"

* Closing address by United Nations Undersecretary for Disarmament Affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu

Registration is free of charge, but we invite you to become an event sponsor ([link removed]) or join the Arms Control Association as a member to support efforts on these critical issues.
