Live at Leeds and across Britain, a new diplomacy is emerging

Essentially, we are looking for new diplomats. Just as we try to think and work outside of London, we are also trying to think and work outside of formal diplomacy. There are, for instance, many British people who have close ties to America or who simply take an interest in the US who we’re keen to connect with and empower. We want to propagate “ownership” of the special relationship — and that requires cross-country recruitment because, as we know, talent is distributed evenly but opportunity and attention not always so.
