"We live in exhilarating, but daunting, times," remarked Sam Nunn, former Senator and Distinguished Professor of International Affairs, during the 2011 Founder's Day Celebration. Nunn continued, "We've never faced more demanding challenges all at once, but we've never had more powerful tools and greater opportunities. To build a world of promise and avoid a world of peril we're going to have to make fundamental changes. To do that we are going to have to cooperate with each other. This will not happen without increased social courage by our leaders but also by alert citizens. Ivan Allen Jr. showed us the way."
