Event Details

Lieutenant General John F. Regni (ret.) will discuss America's role in the world – from hot spots like wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, to the geopolitics of the arctic, to climate change, and everything in between – and the growing domestic constraints that add complexity and barriers to America's capacity to respond when called. Culminating his distinguished 40-year career as Superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy, General Regni is not a speaker you want to miss.

Annual Meeting

After General Regni speaks, we'll convene for our Annual Meeting to vote on our proposed slate of officers and directors for the 2024-2025 season. Your voice matters!
