Next Generation National Security Leaders Program
Since its founding, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) has led efforts to prepare and foster the next generation of national security and defense leaders. As part of this mission, CNAS is pleased to announce the launch of the Next Generation National Security Leaders Program, which will gather future national security leaders to participate in a series of frank and open discussions on the foreign policy challenges of today and tomorrow. The goal of program is to build a bipartisan network of emerging national security leaders and develop a shared understanding of the nation’s security interests and international priorities.
The 2009 program will consist of a series of dinner events led by CNAS President John Nagl and Steve Biegun, corporate officer and vice president of International Governmental Affairs for Ford Motor Company, former McCain senior advisor, and CNAS non-resident fellow. Each dinner discussion will be centered on an imminent topic in national security and will feature a guest presentation by a leading expert on the subject. Potential topics include: Afghanistan and Pakistan, Natural Security (national security + natural resources), the future of Asia, irregular warfare, and the effects of the economic crisis on national security.
