Joseph J. Sisco was AAD president from 1999 to 2004. Using the many memorial gifts received in Sisco¿s name when he passed away, AAD created the Joseph J. Sisco Memorial Forum. This program series is designed to stimulate public discussion on the foreign policy themes to which Sisco dedicated his career. As assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs and as undersecretary of state for political affairs, he often played a leading role in American involvement in the work of the United Nations and U.S. foreign policy.
