This year, we are honored to have Richard L. Armitage as our guest speaker. Mr. Armitage served as Deputy Secretary of State from 2001 to 2005. At the U.S. State Department, Mr. Armitage helped shape, direct and lead U.S. foreign policy during one of the most trying and intriguing eras in modern history. Mr. Armitage is uniquely qualified to deal with the challenges stemming from international policy and business and how best to succeed. Mr. Armitage is a 1967 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, and completed three combat tours with the reverine/advisory forces in Vietnam. In 1973, after leaving active duty, he joined the U.S. Defense Attache Office, Saigon. Immediately prior to the fall of Saigon, he organized and led the removal of Vietnamese naval assets and personnel from the country.
