The National Defense University Center for the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD Center) is proud to sponsor the Program for Emerging Leaders (PEL). The goal is to foster a community of rising U.S. government leaders with the awareness and skill-set for responding to the dangers of WMD. Its target members are early- to mid-career WMD specialists and national security professionals who would benefit from a better understanding of the WMD challenge. The Program brings together select individuals from across government each year to provide an in-depth appreciation of the variety of WMD threats and the full range of means, processes, and organizations for addressing them. Through periodic membership activities, the Program also provides a forum for building an interagency network of next generation leaders with responsibilities related to combating WMD.
