Dinner w/Daniel Hokanson

May 22 @ 6:00 pm 8:30 pm EDT

With an aggressive China asserting influence in the Indo-Pacific and around the globe, a belligerent Russia invading a peaceful neighbor, North Korea developing long-range offensive weapons, and numerous violent nonstate actors at work in the Middle East and beyond, the mission of the National Guard and the capabilities we bring to the fight have never been more important.

Given the exclusive nature of this event, participation is limited to BENS members by invitation only; invitations are not transferable. Seats are extremely limited; and once we reach capacity, a waiting list will be established. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
