Alianta's Awards Gala

Honoring the accomplishments of Robert D. Kaplan,
Dr. Adrian Bejan and Radu Georgescu


Washington, DC. On October 7, 2015, Alianta, a nonpartisan alliance of Romanian and American organizations and professionals, will hold its second Awards Gala to raise Romania's profile in the U.S. and celebrate achievements in the Romanian and U.S. communities. Alianta's Awards Gala is the community's largest social event in Washington, D.C. and is held to celebrate the cultural, economic and security ties between the two countries. This event, taking place from 6 pm to 9:30 pm, will be held at the Organization of American States, 200 17th Street, NW, Washington, D.C.

In addition to honoring the accomplishments of three remarkable leaders, Robert D. Kaplan, Author, Journalist; Dr. Adrian Bejan, J.A. Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke University; Radu Georgescu, Software Entrepreneur, the Awards Gala will feature a curated exhibition, "Mediums," by renowned Romanian-American artists Ramona Todoca and Sonia Coman. The event will also bring together thinkers and practitioners striving to strengthen ties and establish new bridges between Romania and the United States through creative partnerships and bilateral initiatives.

Ambassador Mark Gitenstein (ret.), President of Alianta, explaines: "The individuals who attend the Awards Gala demonstrate not only how strong the partnership is, but just how much both Romanians and Americans gain from our peoples' alliance."

Alianta is thrilled to present this year's awards for outstanding accomplishments to the following three recipients:
• Robert D. Kaplan, Author, Journalist
Robert D. Kaplan is the bestselling author of 15 books on foreign affairs and travel, including The Revenge of Geography and Balkan Ghosts. His equally extensive journalistic work has been published in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Foreign Affairs. He is also a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. In 2012, Foreign Policy magazine named him one the world's Top 100 Global Thinkers.
His upcoming book, In Europe's Shadow: Two Cold Wars and a Thirty-Year Journey through Romania and Beyond, is a riveting journey through Romania and an analysis of the forces determining Europe's evolution in the postmodern age, including imperialism, Cold War and the Holocaust.

After conducting his first visit through Romania in the 1970s, the author returned in 2013 and 2014. He found a country transformed into a traveler's destination shaped by Western influences, but still emerging from communist factors. The book will be released in early 2016.
Robert D. Kaplan will be available to give interviews and answer questions during Alianta's Awards Gala.
• Dr. Adrian Bejan, J.A. Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke University

He has received 18 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries. He has covered a wide range of topics, from thermodynamics to heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Dr. Bejan has published 28 books and over 600 peer-referred articles.
• Radu Georgescu, Software Entrepreneur
