February Luncheon

February Luncheon – 2/21/2014

Our next luncheon is Friday, February 21st.  The Guest Speaker will be Admiral Robert F. Willard, President and CEO of INPO.  He will speak on Fukushima-Daiichi, with the unique vantage of having led the Disaster Response as Commander, US Pacific Command, and then working to ensure it won’t happen again as the CEO of INPO.
The lessons learned will have impact for all alumni in every line of business, and we are delighted to have him as our guest speaker.
Admiral Willard graduated from the Naval
Academy in 1973, took to flying Tomcats, and retired in 2012 after serving as the 22nd Commander, US Pacific Command.  Let’s just say, a lot happened along that long and distinguished career including being in the movie classic Top Gun, assuring Congress that Guam will not capsize (see it here on Youtube), and now providing leadership to global community of nuclear power operators.

January Luncheon – 1/17/2014

Out next luncheon is this Friday, January 17th.  The Guest Speaker will be best selling author, Steve Eubanks, who most recently published  All American, the inspiring story of two football rivals who faced each other in the momentous 2001 Army-Navy Game who would both go on to serve in the United States military in the Iraq War.
In December, 2001, as fires still burned beneath the World Trade Center ruins, West Point cadet Chad Jenkins and Naval Academy midshipman Brian Stann faced off at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia in what would become the most-watched college football game of the decade: the matchup between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen.
With his team down by thirteen points, Stann, a Navy linebacker, came into contact with Jenkins, the Army quarterback, for the first time, landing a perfect tackle. Though these two players would not meet again for another decade, Stann and Jenkins shared the same path: both went to war, led soldiers, and witnessed and participated in events they never imagined possible.
A moving and fascinating dual profile of honor, duty, courage, and competition, illustrated with photos, All American is a thoughtful exploration of American character and values, embodied in the lives of two remarkable young men.
Steve Eubanks is a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning writer. His work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, Golf World, Golf Magazine, Golf for Women, T&L Golf, Links, Sports Unlimited, Garden & Gun, Racing Fan, and USA Today, and on FoxSports.com, Yahoo!, and PGATour.com. A former college golfer and PGA club pro, Steve is the author of more than thirty books. He lives in Peachtree City, Georgia, with his wife and children.
