John C Bogle Arthur Levitt Jr Biography & Facts

James Kenneth Glassman (born January 1, 1947) served as Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs from 2008-2009. He was, from 2009 to 2013, the founding executive director of the George W. Bush Institute, a public policy development institution focused on creating independent, nonpartisan solutions to America's most pressing public policy problems through the principles that guided President George W. Bush and his wife Laura in public life. The George W. Bush Institute is based within the George W. Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas.Glassman has also worked as a journalist, magazine publisher, and business writer, and in the field of economic policy development. He is perhaps best known for co-writing the book Dow 36,000 (published 1999), in which he predicted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average would approximately triple in value to 36,000 points by early 2005. On November 1, 2021, the Dow first crossed 36,000, more than twenty years after his book was published. Presently, he is chairman of Glassman Enterprises, LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based public affairs consulting firm whose clients include several Fortune 100 companies in fields including health care and energy. In 2003, the Washington Monthly credited Glassman with inventing "journo-lobbying" by writing a large number of seemingly independent opinion columns that aligned closely with the interests of his lobbying clients; his output included columns that questioned the science behind climate change. Personal life and education Glassman was born into a Jewish family in Washington, D.C. to parents Stanley and Elaine Glassman. He attended Sidwell Friends School, in Washington. He graduated cum laude from Harvard College with a B.A. in government in 1969. He is married to Beth Ourisman Glassman and has two children, two stepchildren, three grandchildren and two step-grandchildren. His daughter, Kate Bennett, is a White House reporter for CNN. He lives in Washington, D.C. Career Glassman began his career as a journalist and publisher. While a student at Harvard, he served as managing editor of The Harvard Crimson. After graduation, he took a job as a Sunday writer for the Boston Herald Traveler. In 1971 he became editor and publisher of The Advocate of Provincetown, Mass. In 1972 Glassman began a weekly newspaper in New Orleans, called Figaro. He sold the paper in 1979 and moved back to Washington as executive editor of The Washingtonian magazine. In 1981 he served as publisher of The New Republic before becoming president of The Atlantic Monthly. He simultaneously served as executive vice president of U.S. News & World Report between 1984 and 1986.From 1987 until 1993, Glassman was part owner and editor of Roll Call. He and his partner, Arthur Levitt Jr., sold the company to The Economist. In 2000 he founded Tech Central Station (now TCS Daily), an online magazine.Between 1993 and 2004, he wrote a syndicated column for the Washington Post business section and the International Herald Tribune.Glassman has also worked in television. He was moderator of CNN's "Capital Gang Sunday" from 1995 to 1998. During this time he also hosted PBS's weekly "TechnoPolitics". From February 2010 to June 2012, he hosted "Ideas in Action", a weekly PBS series on public policy issues.From 1996 to 2008, Glassman was a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. While there, from 2005 to 2007, he founded and served as editor in chief of The American, the American Enterprise Institute's bimonthly magazine of business and economics.In 2003 Glassman served on the U.S. government's Advisory Board on Public Diplomacy in the Arab and Muslim World.From June 2007 to June 2008, he was chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), directing all nonmilitary, taxpayer–funded U.S. international broadcasting, including Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks (Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa).On December 11, 2007, Glassman was nominated by President George W. Bush to replace Karen Hughes as the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs.[2] He served in the position from June 2008 to January 2009, leading the governmentwide international strategic communications effort. Among his accomplishments at the State Department was bringing new Internet technology to bear on outreach to foreign publics, an approach he christened "Public Diplomacy 2.0". In an interview in 2009, he put forward a case that in the long run the Iraq War will prove to have been a positive decision, saying that it will be ultimately "beneficial to the war of ideas in the sense that a functioning democracy that we hope will be stable and prosperous now exists in the Middle East, and is showing other nations and other people what a democracy looks like." Newsweek said about him: "James K. Glassman, as they say in Washington, gets it. The under secretary of state for public diplomacy has been on the job for only six months, but he has already scored small successes in the U.S. effort to win over 'hearts and minds' in the Muslim world, a hard sell if ever there was one... Glassman has finally figured out how to sell the American idea abroad."He continued to serve as a governor of the BBG, representing the secretary of state, during his time as under secretary.On September 3, 2009, Glassman was named founding executive director of the George W. Bush Institute, a public policy institute dedicated to research and action in education, global health, human freedom, and economic growth. The Institute is part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which also includes a presidential library and museum on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.For the 2009–10 school year, he was diplomat-in-residence at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C. He taught a course on public diplomacy to undergraduates.He was formerly a member of the Policy Advisory Board of Intel Corporation and was senior adviser to AT&T Corporation and SAP America, Inc.In 2013, Glassman became president of the public affairs firm Public Affairs Engagement, based in Roslyn, Virginia. In 2016, he left Public Affairs Engagement and started his own firm, Glassman Enterprises, LLC, based in Washington, D.C., with an array of clients that include pharmaceutical firms, manufacturers and non-profits. In 2020, Glassman, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term, and "To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him."He is (2020) chairman of the non-profit Strategic Health Diplomacy, which educates Americ....
