Keynote Presentation
September 11, 2001 - The White House - A Crisis Leadership Presentation
On September 11th 2001, Lieutenant Colonel Darling was working in the White House Military Office and was initially tasked to coordinate airlift assets for the President’s evacuation to an undisclosed site. However, he was quickly recruited to provide his military expertise and became a key liaison between the Vice President, National Security Advisor and the Pentagon and worked directly with the National Command Authority to respond to the terrorist attacks. Lieutenant Colonel Darling witnessed first hand the enormity of the crisis leadership decisions that were made that day on behalf of all Americans.
*Your audience will learn what the 9/11 Commission was initially blocked from knowing; who knew what, when, and what specific actions were taken by our nation's highest leader's to defend America.
