Please join BENS NY for a luncheon conversation with Kelly McKeague, Director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, on Wednesday, March 27th, for a discussion on keeping our nation’s promise to Gold Star Families to bring their loved ones home. We will also discuss the technological advances that are better-enabling mission success and the agency’s diplomacy efforts across 45 nations.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s mission is to recover American military personnel listed as prisoners of war or missing in action from designated past conflicts. Director McKeague, a retired U.S. Air Force Major General, leads this worldwide enterprise of research, investigation, recovery, and identification operations, and supporting functions, to provide the fullest possible accounting of our nation’s missing personnel.
A special thank you to BENS Board Member Mark Shenkman for hosting this
discussion at Shenkman Capital Management.
