On Monday, Sept. 8, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will name the Emmy and Golden Globe winner the newest member of the State Department's Public Diplomacy Envoy program. Drescher will join the ranks of figure skater Michelle Kwan and baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr.
Like the other envoys, Drescher will travel the world promoting America's image. The State Department, which oversees the program, says she will focus her energy on issues close to her heart, namely women's health and cancer awareness and prevention.
