SAA Keynote Speech- Leadership Lessons in Life

Ken Adelman, Ex-US Ambassador to the UN, Arms Control Director, and Author of: “Reagan at Reykjavik”

The story of the historic superpower summit in Iceland in 1986 will become a feature film. Through his multimedia presentation, Adelman offers an “up close and personal” portrait of Reagan during his finest hours. Adelman’s first-hand account of advising the President at the tumultuous summit, with its cliffhanger plot, powerful personalities, and sweeping significance, creates a you-are-there feel to the speech.
