Reserve your place now

Senator Hagel served two terms in the U.S. Senate (1997-2009), where he was a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; and Intelligence Committees. He chaired the Foreign Relations International Economic Policy, Export and Trade Promotion Subcommittee and the Banking Committee’s International Trade and Finance, and Securities Subcommittees. Hagel also served as the Chairman of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China and the Senate Climate Change Observer Group.

Hagel will base his remarks in part on his book America: Our Next Chapter (Ecco, 2008). In the book, according to the publisher, Hagel "confronts foreign policy problems ... including China's growing economy; ... India's and Pakistan's nuclear capabilities; and Iran's aggressive political, ideological, and nuclear stances. He decries the pervasive disease of third world poverty, arguing convincingly that this is where the real fight against terrorism must begin."

Hagel now is a Distinguished Professor at Georgetown University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He is Co-Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board; Chairman of the Atlantic Council; a member of the Secretary’s Defense Policy Board and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) board of directors. He also serves on the Advisory Boards of Deutsche Bank Americas; Corsair Capital; Pfizer’s Emerging Markets and Developed Economies Boards; M.I.C. Industries; National Interest Security Company (NISC); is a Director of the Zurich Holding Company of America; and is a Senior Advisor to McCarthy Capital Corporation.

Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Hagel was president of McCarthy & Company, an investment banking firm in Omaha, Nebraska. In the mid-1980s, Hagel co-founded VANGUARD Cellular Systems, Inc., a publicly traded corporation. He is a Vietnam combat veteran and former Deputy Administrator of the Veterans Administration.
