Mission

The Richardson Center for Global Engagement promotes global peace and dialogue by identifying and working on areas of opportunity for engagement and citizen-diplomacy in countries and communities not usually open to traditional diplomatic channels.

In addition, the Center has been working (not secured yet) on the release of additional prisoners in Venezuela, Russia, and Iran. Middle East - The Center continued its track II engagement with governments in the middle east as a way to bolster democracy and trust relations. North Korea - Despite the freeze in U.S - DPRK relations, the Center continued itsengagement with the North Korean counterpart, sustaining the relationships until conditions mature to restart the program. Myanmar/Bangladesh: In 2022, the Center convened a track of dialogue aimed at building trust between Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and Rakhine leaders in Myanmar, helped facilitate the resettlement of vulnerable Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh and Malaysia to third countries, and supported Rohingya-led initiatives in the refugee camps in Bangladesh, including a refugee-run library. Center staff were active in Rohingya-related policy and strategy conversations, influencing international approaches to the relocation of Rohingya to Bhasan Char and elevating the security concerns of Rohingya refugees.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
