AFCEA QP Breakfast this Wednesday, July 23rd

[Steve Gaudreau]

AFCEANs, one final reminder on our invitation for you to join us at the Germanna Fredericksburg campus (GCC) for a free breakfast and a key briefing from Dr. Mark Lowenthal, Cyber Security - Where Are We Now?

Dr. Lowenthal is an author and Adjunct Professor at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, DC. He has written five books and over 90 articles or studies on intelligence and national security. His book Intelligence: From Secrets to Policy has become a standard undergraduate and graduate text.

In 2005, Lowenthal retired from a prolific career working with the United States Intelligence Community and a recognized national security affairs expert. Upon his graduation, he was commended for his work and commitment to the intelligence community by the New Jersey Congressman Rush D. Holt, Jr., in the U.S. House of Representatives.  He is the former Assistant Director of Central Intelligence for Analysis and Production and former Vice Chairman for Evaluation on the National Intelligence Council. He has also served in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), as both an office director and as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.

As an aside, Dr. Lowenthal was one of the more notable contestants that have appeared on the American game show Jeopardy!, appearing four times, including winning the "Tournament of Champions" in 1988. In 1992, he co-wrote Secrets of the Jeopardy Champions, which was marketed as an instruction manual for prospective contestants of the trivia game show.

Don't miss one of our more interesting guest speakers: a teacher, an author, and a relevant presence in our day of Cyber Security.  It's an early day to be sure, but well worth your effort to attend.  Hope to see you there this Wednesday morning.  Join us!
