Please join BENS SE for a luncheon conversation with Kelly McKeague, Director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, on Friday, April 26th. We will discuss 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.

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.
Space is limited, so please do not hesitate to register! RSVPs will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
