Join us on October 3 for a discussion about leadership from the frontlines of war and peace. Drawing on hard-earned lessons from their careers of experimentation and risk-taking, Ambassador Rick Barton and CEOs Alexa Courtney and Jim Hake will reflect on the challenges and opportunities of thinking and acting like an entrepreneur while supporting stability operations in non-permissive environments. They will share their insights about contextual leadership, perspectives on America's role in the world, the importance of local leadership, risk-taking and failing, and conclude with advice for YPFP's rising leaders. We hope you will join us for this exciting evening of insight, storytelling, and dialogue!
This event is open to YPFP members and non-members. Track the conversation on social media using #ypfp.
