Events at the Academy

The Leadership Encounter evening with Dr John Doran was a great success.  One member wrote:

Thank you very much for a splendid evening. Dr. Doran's presentation was great, especially in its simplicity. He hit on five points that truly brought home to me, as an American,some of the values we've lost....It was a splendid evening, and all those who missed it missed something special. To paraphrase Dr. Doran--It is nice to be important, but it is far more important to be nice. Respect goes farther toward winning the Peace than bullets. My only regret is that I can't attend all these Leadership events, as if this was an example they must be all quite excellent. Thanks, again----Steve Henthorne
