An unidentified speaker, a meeting participant, opened the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace at the United States Institute of Peace, framing the group's purpose as producing peace: "It's called the Board of Peace, and it's all about an easy word to say, but a hard word to produce, peace."
The speaker said the board will work to "produce" peace and described the effort as simple in name but difficult in execution. The remarks repeatedly stressed the symbolic and practical importance of the new body during what the speaker called "this first year."
The speaker credited leaders present for their support, saying "some of these leaders that are with us have helped me very much during just this first year," and described the event as "a tremendous honor to welcome you all to the United States Institute of Peace for the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace." The speaker added, "I believe it's the most consequential board. Certainly, in terms of power and in terms of prestige, there's never been anything close."
