Secretary Clinton invited Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers “to accept this ACE Award for your efforts to create jobs, improve lives, and lay the groundwork for lasting peace.”

In Washington, DC, Secretary Clinton presented the award to Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers and in Jerusalem, linked via digital video conference with the Secretary’s event, U.S. Ambassador James Cunningham, U.S. Consul General Daniel Rubinstein and Cisco Senior Manager Zika Abzuk, who leads the CSR efforts for Cisco, celebrated the award.

Congratulations to Cisco and Zika for their impressive results and the recognition it’s generating.
