SUMMARY:Reflections on German-American Relations  in an Election Year
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On February 22\, the ACG and the Pittsburgh Committee on Foreign Relations will host a discussion and reception with David Gill\, Consul General of Germany in New York. \nDavid Gill has been the German Consul General in New York since August 20217. He grew up in a protestant minister’s family in Herrnhut\, Saxony\, in former East Germany. He was denied a higher education by the communist regime for political reasons. Instead\, he trained and worked as a plumber before joining a preparatory protestant school and later the theological seminary of the Protestant Church in Berlin-Brandenburg. \nIn 1990\, Mr. Gill initially was the chairman of Normannenstrasse Citizens’ Committee which oversaw the dissolution of the Ministry of State Security at the Stasi headquarters and served as the secretary of the Special Committee for the dissolution of the Stasi of the East German Parliament. After reunification\, he became spokesman and head of the research division of the Federal Commissioner for the Stasi-Files before studying law in Berlin and Philadelphia. After holding positions in the Federal Ministry of the Interior and at the Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information in Berlin\, he served as the Deputy Representative of the Council of the Protestant Church in Germany to the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union. During Federal President Joachim Gauck’s term from 2012–2017\, Mr. Gill served as State Secretary and Chief of Staff of the President. \n  \nDiscussion and Reception[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fform.jotform.com%2F240384158753158″ css=”.vc_custom_1707846740157{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
