Over the weekend we went to the incredibly glamorous Meridian Ball, which was preceded by dinners at various ambassadors’ residences, as well as a larger dinner, which we joined, at the White-Meyer house.

At the annual White-Meyer dinner, we snapped Meridian trustee and former USAID administrator Alonzo Fulgham with Michelle Camp and her husband, Meridian executive committee member Charles Camp. The entire evening was even more glam than usual as the Meridian International Center celebrated its 50th anniversary.

CNN was well represented by host Jake Tapper and PR chief Matt Dornic. The evening celebrated Meridian’s global leadership through the exchange of ideas, people, and culture.
