What is "Passing the Baton"? In this video, USIP Vice President for External Relations Salih Booker explains the conference and its significance. 

As the United States prepares to inaugurate its 45th president, the U.S. Institute of Peace again will hold its Passing the Baton conference—a review, during the transition between administrations, of global challenges confronting our nation. USIP will convene Cabinet-level and other senior foreign policy and national security figures from the outgoing and incoming administrations as part of two days of meetings January 9 and 10. They will be joined by top officials from previous administrations, thought leaders and other foreign policy experts.
