Dear Friends of the National Defense University Foundation,

I’m pleased to share the Foundation’s 2022 Impact Report, which features our programs, colloquia, and accomplishments. As we celebrated and commemorated 40 years of supporting the National Defense University (NDU), we accelerated our impact and continued our mission to ensure the University remains the global standard for world-class professional military and diplomatic education.

• The College of Information and Cyberspace CyberBeacon Conference brought global cybersecurity experts and professionals to the NDU community. CyberBeacon is a prime example of how the Foundation and the NDU operate at the intersection of the security environment, creating a strategic advantage.

• We convened Joint All Domaine Command and Control (JADC2) thought leaders through our Industry Innovation Series. Greg Wenzel, Executive Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton, shares his insights on the conference discussions and perspectives.

• With support from the NDU Foundation, NDU hosted its Alumni Continuing Education Security Seminar (ACESS). The event brought together the NDU International Fellows Program alums and demonstrated the importance and impact of professional military education on national security and global diplomacy.

All of this has been possible for forty years only with the support of our Board of Directors, our McNair Partners, and well-informed donors who understand the critical importance of developing senior leaders as a national security imperative. With your continued support, our vision is to grow NDUF’s impact on national security leader development and international relationship development because we recognize these emerging leaders are our most vital national security assets.

Looking forward to 2023, the Foundation plans to engage a broader cross-section of corporate partnerships through the Chairman’s Advisory Group, emphasizing our role as catalysts and accelerating the global leadership and impact of the National Defense University. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership with our mission.

Sincerely,

James Schmeling President & CEO
