Civic Enterprises and the National Conference on Citizenship each recently expanded their teams with the addition of a nonprofit leader from Cairo, Egypt, through the 12-month Atlas Corps professional fellowship. These Fellows arrived in America shortly after the Egyptian Revolution, which began January 25, 2011 and lasted 18 days. The citizen-driven revolution, which was mostly peaceful and organized largely through social media, resulted in the resignation of the country's president, Hosni Mubarak, and paved the way for democratic leadership in Egypt.

We invite you to a panel discussion where four Egyptian Atlas Corps Fellows will share and reflect on their experiences during the Revolution. They will also relate their experiences to what they hope to learn during their time in the U.S.

Who: Atlas Corps, Civic Enterprises, and National Conference on Citizenship
What: A conversation with first-hand reflections on the Egyptian Revolution
When: April 21, 2011, 9:00-10:30 a.m. Eastern
