Ambassadors Circle

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

To accommodate Ambassadors Circle members who prefer not to travel at this time, portions of Friday’s program will be broadcast live via a private link. Recordings of these sessions and, we hope, portions of the Trip to Plains will also be recorded and available online.

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