1998

The Values Caucus hosted a reception entitled "Partnerships for Peace" on April 23, 1998, honoring the International Association of Permanent Representatives for their support of the Coffee Series. An impressive thirty Permanent Representatives attended.

Another significant innovation was the Values Caucus Coordinating Council. Until 1998, the Caucus was facilitated only by a Chair and sometimes a Vice Chair. In 1998, a nine-member Council was elected to model a more participatory leadership. The Council proved to be an excellent laboratory for consensus-driven decision making, blending the talents and skills of a variety of members.
