During the week of May 5-7, approximately 150 civilian leaders in business, education, and government from all over the U.S. will meet with senior military leaders to explore current and future national security issues facing our nation. The NSF provides a great opportunity for an open and candid exchange of ideas among these guests, senior military and civilian leaders, and Air War College students. Lozada and Daniel will attend lectures, meet in seminars for in-depth discussions, and participate in social events.
“To have two members of our executive leadership team selected to be a part of this very prestigious group is a tremendous honor,” said Leonardo J. Lozada, M.D., Saint Luke’s Health System senior vice president and chief physician executive. “Will and I are both personally very excited to participate, have the opportunity to share our input and expertise, and bring home new information as well.”
