When the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held their Summit in Chicago, May 2012, Magellan Corporation was honored to sponsor the international event, with a speaker series that featured Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus. A political and military alliance of 30 member nations, NATO promotes democratic values, and is committed to peaceful resolution of conflict.
This meeting of heads of state and heads of government was conducted on May 20 & 21; it marked the first time ever that a NATO summit was held in the United States outside of Washington, D.C. The summit discussed a variety of issues including the Arab Spring, the Libyan Civil War, the global financial crisis, transition for NATO forces in Afghanistan, and more. It featured a roster of speakers representing intelligentsia addressing issues critical to world wellness.
Our good friend Jay Bunk, Executive Vice President of the Blackhawks, presented President Klaus with his very own personalized Chicago Blackhawks jersey.
