The nonprofit foreign-policy group Council on Foreign Relations, in New York, recently accepted Angelina Jolie into its membership, reports the New York Post.
Ms. Jolie, an actress who is known for her work with refugees, AIDS orphans, and disaster victims and who serves as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations, is being welcomed into the organization by many current members, the paper reports.
One member, Carol Adelman, former head of foreign-aid programs for the United States, tells the Post, “It’s not like Paris Hilton is being nominated.”
Other members include Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve.
