“Jerusalem in Transition: An Ancient City at the Forefront of Contemporary Issues in the Middle East”

Keynote Speaker:  Nir Barkat, Mayor of Jerusalem Hosted by Colorado Governor Bill Ritter and University of Denver Chancellor Bob Coombe

On November 11th, 2008, Nir Barkat was elected the 9th Mayor of Jerusalem. Mayor Barkat has inspired thousands of Jerusalemites with his vision to turn Israel's poorest city into one rich in culture, youth, education, lasting economic development, and tourism, as well as his message of respect and pluralism for all residents of Jerusalem. He has joined together the left and right, the secular and the religious, in order to move Jerusalem forward, allowing him to spend the entirety of his time working on the needs of Jerusalem, rather than the politics. Support for Mayor Barkat's vision continues to spread throughout Jerusalem, Israel, and communities throughout the world.
