Next Hendrickson speaker is Australian John Howard

The keynote speaker for this year’s Hendrickson Institute for Ethical Leadership Forum will be John Howard. The event is planned for April 21.

As the prime minister of Australia from March 1996 until November 2007, the Honorable John Winston Howard served a distinctively Western role in the Asian-Pacific Rim. Howard approached his responsibilities from a global viewpoint, providing economic vision and security strategies that raised Australia's profile and impact around the world as well as improving economic stability at home.

Howard will discuss the role of world leaders in a new century, addressing the growing concerns of globalization and global economics, the environment, and threats to international security. He will explain in what ways, and to what degrees, China, India and the Pacific Rim may participate. Finally, he will respond to questions submitted by Forum participants.

A block of complimentary tickets have been reserved for faculty and staff and reduced-price $40 tickets are available for additional alumni, faculty and staff; student tickets are $10. General admission tickets will be $50.
