Chat & Chowder: Accidental Diplomat with Paul Knott

Join us for this installment of our popular Chat & Chowder series, featuring former British Foreign Service Officer, Paul Knott. Mr. Knott will discuss his improbable career and tell us many of his exciting stories from his time in the Foreign Service, from being posted in post-revolutionary Romania, to being abducted by hospitality terrorists in Dubai, to meeting his wife in the then police-state of Uzbekistan, along with many more fascinating stories and insights. Whether you are an avid watcher of international news or interested in becoming a diplomat yourself, this event is for you!
