Meridian Ball!

On Friday night, we gathered at the esteemed Meridian House for one of DC’s most glamourous events, the 47th Annual Meridian Ball. We snapped Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security executive director Melanne Verveer and Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center Ambassador-in-Residence Capricia Marshall.

Ambassadors and corporate executives filled the prestigious event to celebrate Meridian’s ongoing efforts to prepare for a complex global future. Here, Ann Morrell and her husband, BP’s Geoff Morrell, PwC’s Laura Cox Kaplan, and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joel Kaplan.
