By assisting and mentoring the parents of midshipmen, past and present, and supporting parents' associations active within the geographic boundaries of the chapter.
Programs: Hosted the first ever donald w. Mccarthy heartland leadership forum in april. The purpose of the heartland leadership forum is to bring a top-level national security or foreign policy expert to the twin cities to address our community's business, academic, and political leaders. Our belief is that by informing our leaders about issues of national importance, these leaders will be able to make better strategic decisions for their companies, in the academic world, and even regarding our public policy decisions. Last year we focused on cyber and its impact on national security, economic security, and many related topics. This is a public event that draws 250+ people (usna alums, local business leaders, and others interested).
sponsored a leadership conference put on by the west point society of minnesota with 150+ participants. An annual one day interactive peer-led seminar for high school students to explore the foundations of ethical leadership. Conference begins with a keynote speech by a minnesotan who is a leader of character. Past speakers have been leaders in business, academia, professional sports, non-profits, and media.
supported the annual navy birthday ball, a military ball hosted by the university of minnesota nrotc unit, the navy league, and the navy reserve center. Our organization also coordinated for the guest speaker, the current vice chief of naval operations. Over 200 people in attendance.
