U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference

Every year, the McDonough Center is invited to send students to Annapolis, Maryland, to participate in the U.S. Naval Academy Leadership Conference. According to the conference web site, the main mission of this conference is “to bring together the best minds in the practice and study of leadership to exchange ideas, experiences and methodologies with both military and civilian students.”
