​The National and International Security Leadership Seminar is designed to prepare military and civilian officials to explore the most effective leadership strategies and address the overwhelming national security and intelligence threats facing the United States (U.S).  This seminar covers a range of issues, including the latest regional risk assessments, inter-governmental initiatives, congressional budgeting, and manpower allocations, and ongoing external commitments.  Each workshop draws upon the knowledge and experience of a diverse group of prominent experts to help attendees learn more about the changing political, economic, and military factors that shape the international security environment.  Attendees have the unique opportunity to discuss national security policy from conception to implementation.  Topics include key issues such as nuclear weapons proliferation, cyber security threats, the operational structure of terrorist groups and rogue states, and the complexities involved in the protection of the U.S. infrastructure.  Talks are informal and off-the-record.
