"Leadership: Taking Charge with General Colin Powell"
O'Connor House Distinguished Speaker Series and the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce are pleased to present Colin Powell speaking on
"Leadership: Taking Charge".
Soldier. Diplomat. Patriot. Inspiration. General Colin Powell has proven to be all of these things during a career of public service spanning more than five decades. A senior military official and cabinet member through four presidential administrations, General Powell is a "must-see" inspirational speaker whose commitment to leadership, freedom and country make him an American icon.
A 35-year veteran of the US Army, Powell rose to the rank of Four Star General, then served as National Security Advisor under President Ronald Reagan, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton and as Secretary of State under President George W. Bush.
From Harlem-born son of Jamaican immigrants to top-level international diplomat, Gen. Powell has lived a remarkable life. Register today to experience a rare visit to the Valley by one of the key figures in recent American history.
No refunds will be made for cancellations within 72 hours of the event.
