General John F. Kelly has served in many important roles during his career. In a 2019 speech, he termed being chief of staff in the Trump administration an incredibly hard job, but “the most important thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
Kelly will be the keynote speaker at the February 11 Chamber Day Dinner at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. There’s still time to reserve your table or tickets for the premier networking event of the legislative session.
More than 700 business, policy and community leaders will be in attendance. It’s the perfect opportunity to discuss key state topics before expanding to federal and international issues with Kelly’s insights.
“Geopolitics – Risk, Reward and Balance” is the title of his presentation. The military service for the 45-year Marine Corps veteran extends from the Vietnam era to Iraq. His final three-plus years of active duty were spent in charge of the United States Southern Command, working closely with the FBI, DEA and Department of Homeland Security.
After less than a year in retirement, Kelly was chosen to serve once again as the fifth Secretary of Homeland Security. Six months later, President Trump selected Kelly as White House chief of staff – a position he held until the beginning of 2019.
