This annual lecture series was begun in Fall 2002, and honors John B. Hurford, an enthusiastic and devoted member of the Council on Foreign Relations. The series features individuals who represent critical new thinking in international affairs and foreign policy.
John B. Hurford was a graduate of Haverford College and Harvard University and spent two years in India through Fulbright Fellowships, where he lectured at the Institute for Economic Growth and the University of Delhi.
He then began his business career at Lazard Freres and Company, where he worked on mergers, acquisitions and investment research. In 1969, he joined BEA Associates, a New York-based investment management firm as a Managing Director. In 1998, he became Vice Chairman of U.S. Equities at Credit Suisse Asset Management, the successor firm to BEA Associates.
Mr. Hurford was deeply engaged in all the Council does and especially interested in people who could bring a fresh approach to international affairs and foreign policy.
