William Fulbright, have furthered peace and international understanding through their lives and work.

Dr. Henderson was honored to co-chair the event with Mariam Assefa, executive director, World Education Services; David W. Heleniak, senior advisor, Morgan Stanley; and Clarke Murphy, chief executive officer, Russell Reynolds Associates.
