ANNUAL GALA 2023!

We are excited to announce that David Brooks will be our keynote speaker for our annual gala on December 4th, 2023! David is a New York Times Op-Ed columnist, writes about politics, culture, and the social sciences. Perhaps he is best known for his role as a political analyst on the PBS NewsHour.

He will be joining us as he embarks on a tour for his new book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen.

How to Know a Person was written to help readers become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is fragmented by hostility and misperception. At Global Santa Fe, we think David’s book is something to celebrate!

We are also going to celebrate one of our members, Diana MacArthur. Diana will receive Global Santa Fe’s inaugural World Wiser Award. You won’t want to miss this event so purchase your tables and tickets now!

Connecting Santa Fe to the World

Our intellectual and cultural leadership empowers our members, students, and communities to be more informed and connected in three ways:

WE IGNITE DIALOGUE AND CITIZEN DIPLOMACY

Elevating global knowledge, ideas, and actions, Global Santa Fe provides year-round dialogues featuring world-class speakers in innovative formats. These are balanced, broad-based presentations, panels, live streams, film screenings, and more, on compelling global issues. Through Dialogue & Diplomacy, we expose participants to points of view that illustrate a deeper story. 

WE FACILITATE CULTURAL EXCHANGE WITH INTERNATIONAL LEADERS

In partnership primarily with the U.S. Department of State, we welcome international leaders to New Mexico every year. Our visitors dialogue about professional challenges, investments, culture, international relations, and more, to create an authentic connection that spreads from Santa Fe to the world. The power of sharing our experiences and stories with one another builds lasting friendships and helps us discover that we are not so different after all.

WE ENGAGE STUDENTS TO BECOME GLOBAL CITIZENS

Expanding horizons for students in Santa Fe and across New Mexico, Global Santa Fe exposes students to critical global currents and sparks their curiosity. They learn about world affairs through our speakers and international leaders and may apply for scholarship opportunities for foreign study and travel. This elevated global discourse propels our best young minds into educational and career pathways that benefit Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the world.
