The United States changed forever after the September 11 attacksand we were fortunate to have many of those who responded to these horrific tragedies join us at the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Luncheon.
In the days following 9/11, our nation’s critical protection needs catapulted us into new and innovative ways to secure our homeland – which is how many agencies and corporate organizations that are today the champions of the ‘ASTORS’ awards have emerged. .
Our 2021 keynote speaker delivered a moving and informative keynote from TSA Administrator and United States Coast Guard Vice Admiral (Retired), David Pekoske; to our attendees who have traveled across the United States and internationally, on the strategic priorities of the TSA’s 64,000 members to secure the transportation system, enabling safe and, in many cases, contactless travel.
The evolution continues “ASTORS” Rewards Program will focus on the Accomplished Women in Leadership 2022 track, as well as the importance and positive impact of advancing diversity and inclusion in our next generation of government and industry leaders. #MentorshipMatters
So be on the lookout for exciting announcements to come for speakers, presenters, book signing opportunities and attendees at the 2022 ASTORS Awards Presentation Luncheon in November 2022 in New York City!
