SUMMARY:Security and Digital Governance
DESCRIPTION:In-person event.  \n\n\n\nThe Baltic nations of Eastern Europe have often been at risk from their larger neighbors. After Estonia regained its independence with the fall of the Soviet Union\, it secured the chance to determine its own future as a democracy.

Ambassador Kristjan Prikk directly addressed these questions in his former roles as the Permanent Secretary of the Estonian Ministry of Defense and in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He will also describe Estonia’s role in NATO’s cyber defense and the campaign to counter Russian disinformation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKristjan Prikk\, Estonian Ambassador to the US\, will give his insights into Estonia’s place as a leader in digital governance and cybersecurity\, with insight into the security situation in Eastern Europe. With time for audience Q&A\, the audience will have to opportunity to dive deeper into these topics and others. \n\n\n\nThe conversation will be facilitated by Lauren Swartz\, President & CEO of the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. \n\n\n\nWalk-ins are not permitted and registration is required.   \n\n\n\n\nRegister for “Security and Digital Governance with Kristjan Prikk\, Ambassador of Estonia” (wacphila.org)

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The Baltic nations of Eastern Europe have often been at risk from their larger neighbors. After Estonia regained its independence with the fall of the Soviet Union\, it secured the chance to determine its own future as a democracy. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has again elevated the attention to European security and particularly to NATO’s mission to deter conflicts. Ambassador Kristjan Prikk directly addressed these questions in his former roles as the Permanent Secretary of the Estonian Ministry of Defense and in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He will also describe Estonia’s role in NATO’s cyber defense and the campaign to counter Russian disinformation. \n\n\n\nThe conversation will be facilitated by Lauren Swartz\, President & CEO of the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. \n\n\n\nWalk-ins are not permitted and registration is required.  Choose the option for RCOP Members on the registration page for RCOP  and under the “How did you hear about this event?” select “Racquet Club of Philadelphia.”
