January 25, 2007. Deputy Chief of Mission John M. Koenig joined Karsten Voigt, the Coordinator of German-American Cooperation, on a panel on civil society in the United States that the Koerber Foundation had organized. The evening was part of the annual alumni conference of Koerber’s transatlantic idea contest USable and three USable prizewinners complemented the panel. Speaking to an audience of over 250, DCM Koenig stressed the invaluable role a strong civic culture, private voluntary initiative and a tradition of practical problem-solving have played in bringing about social change in America. He also reminded his audience of the importance of transatlantic cooperation to solve the problems and challenges of the 21st century.
