Ambassadors Circle

Unfortunately, President Carter will not attend any portion of the Executive Briefing, nor will he be available during our Visit to Plains. We hope the event represents and honors the Carters' work and their lives nonetheless!

Portions of Friday's program will be broadcast live via a private link. Recordings of these sessions will also be recorded and available online. These recordings will be available to Executive Briefing registrants after the event as well, allowing attendees to view sessions they missed in person.

The Executive Briefing and Visit to Plains are held exclusively for Ambassadors Circle and Legacy Circle members. You may bring guests, but each party is limited to four people so that as many members as possible can attend. We kindly ask that you not forward or share your invitation.
