We are pleased that he is joining this important gathering in Sedona and look forward to hearing from him.”

The theme for this year’s Forum, held April 26-28 at the Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona, is “How Can We Promote Freedom and Democracy Effectively?” Participants in this year’s Forum will include GE Chairman and CEO and McCain Institute Board Member Jeff Immelt, Walmart U.S. President and CEO Bill Simon, Canadian Defense Minister Peter MacKay, former Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril, Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, former Belarus Presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, former NBA star and humanitarian Dikembe Mutombo, General Jack Keane (Ret.), Arizona State University President Michael Crow, Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jon Kyl (R-AZ, Ret.), Joe Lieberman (I-CT, Ret.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), among many others.
