(Washington DC) On Friday, July 18, 2014, the Director of the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University welcomes a Lincoln Symposium panel of experts to discuss African Leadership Development. This event is open to members of the University, friends in the local national security community, and the African diaspora community. The event will be videotaped.
The goal of this forum is to ignite a passion for leadership growth in leaders at home, work, and in the community, so that these leaders can empower the next generation of African leaders to innovate, inspire, and reignite hope back into the African psyche. This is critical to creating a more secure and prosperous society. To support this need, TIDES Africa Initiative SMEs will provide recommendations on how U.S. Strategic leaders could work with host governments, U.S. agencies, and the private sector to help them adopt and implement leadership policies, regulatory and other reforms necessary to instill and ignite passion for leadership growth.
