Nearly 10 years ago I became a member of Business Executives for National Security (BENS), an organization that enables private sector business leaders to apply their experience and expertise to help improve U.S. national security. I was looking for a way to do more than contribute at a fancy dinner, I was looking to roll up my sleeves, to contribute and do. I found that and much more with BENS, including an incredibly talented group of fellow members with a shared determination to bring solutions and have impact; inspiring leaders that include current BENS President & CEO General Timothy Ray, and former CEO’s, General Joseph Votel and General Norton Schwartz (wow, what exceptional Americans!); and perhaps the biggest highlight, I’ve gotten to engage with so many of the men and women serving our country in active duty and civilian capacities, across five continents and across the national security enterprise. That has been more than enough motivation for me to do more, which is why I’m so pleased to post here that I have been elected to the Board of Directors of this great organization. #BENS #NationalSecurity
