The AUSA Center for Leadership established this program to provide experts that will guide important discussions for AUSA’s chapters, ROTC units and Army units across the country and around the world.
These leadership experts will educate, inspire, and connect with AUSA Members, Soldiers, and Cadets during speaking engagements, small group workshops, and more, focused solely on leadership lessons.
AUSA Chapters are able to request a Leadership Fellow for a speaking engagement or event.
