ATLANTA – Former Secretary of State Colin Powell will provide a keynote address on Oct. 1 at the 60th annual ASIS Seminar & Exhibits. Powell will offer his thoughts on domestic and world affairs, leadership, and his vision for tomorrow.
Powell served as Secretary of State from 2001-2005 during President George W. Bush’s first term in office. His illustrious resume includes serving as the first African-American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A retired four-star general, Powell’s numerous awards include two Presidential Medals of Freedom.
Powell authored a best-selling autobiography, “My American Journey.” His second book, a New York Times best seller titled “It Worked for Me,” reveals the lessons that shaped his life and career.
