October 16 Event Draws Exceptional Participation

Cincinnati, OH – The Foreign Policy Leadership Council’s October 16 event and gathering proved to be one of the most dynamic and engaging evenings of the season. Held again at The Literary Club, the event brought together an impressive mix of members, guests, and many students from the University of Cincinnati’s Lindner College of Business for an evening filled with lively discussion, thought-provoking questions, and an outstanding dinner that set the perfect tone for meaningful exchange.

A Night of Insight and Engagement

Our featured speaker, Brigadier General Stephen N. Xenakis who came to visit us from Washington D.C., delivered a compelling and timely presentation examining the evolving role of the U.S. military in an increasingly complex global landscape. His insights sparked deep reflection and prompted an enthusiastic response from the audience, which included many U.S. Army Veterans. The event was skillfully moderated by FPLC Board Member, Mr. Joe Dehner, whose thoughtful guidance kept the discussion focused, engaging, and highly interactive throughout the evening.

The atmosphere was both intellectually charged and very engaging, embodying the very spirit of the Council’s mission to foster thoughtful discussion on pressing international issues. The combination of seasoned perspectives from members and the fresh curiosity of university students made for a particularly dynamic exchange, one that many described as both enlightening and energizing.

The event was not only a testament to the strength of the FPLC community but also to the continued importance of dialogue across generations and disciplines in shaping a deeper understanding of global affairs.

The Council extends its gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to such a successful night. Our next event is scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, and promises to deliver another engaging program focused on the topic of “Corporate Espionage.”

We look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new participants for another memorable evening of insight and exchange.
