10:30am	Communicating with Senior Leaders – Changing Your Point of View Communicating with senior leaders and board members can help accelerate your career. When preparing for those communications, particularly in preparing presentations or written documents, we spend a lot of time thinking about the points we want to make, and how to get them across. But what if there is a better way? The reality is that communications should be prepared from the listener’s point of view!

2:00pm	Diversity and Inclusion are Matters of National Security Business leaders must deliver timely, accurate, and insightful information to key stakeholders and decision-makers.
