The event, “The Challenges of Governance,” was moderated by Clem McCartney, who serves as the Shared Societies Project Policy and Content Coordinator at the Club of Madrid.

The leaders provided their unique perspectives on similar challenges they faced while in office. They touched on how they dealt with terrorism and how they are focused on continuing to serve their countries while no longer in leadership.
