On Oct. 5, 2010, Davis Wright Tremaine's PRISM Committee hosted a special noon-time event with Bill Cole, PhD, who is the Senior Director of Governance, Law, and Civil Society Programs at The Asia Foundation. Dr. Cole drew from his experience living and working in Afghanistan to describe developmental progress made in the country's post-Taliban period, as well as identify some of the nation's impending challenges.
Dr. Cole has lived in Asia for more than 13 years, working in foreign aid and research-related positions focused on economic policy research, democracy and governance reform, social change, strategic planning and management, and project design and evaluation.
