Analytic Services Hosts Lt Gen Lawrence Farrell, USAF (Ret.), President, National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA)

Arlington, VA – On July 7^th, Analytic Services hosted retired Air Force Lieutenant General Lawrence Farrell as the latest installment of its Distinguished Speaker Series. General Farrell is currently serving as President of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). As President, he’s responsible for synchronizing and coordinating NDIA’s strategic direction and providing input on its various policy recommendations. During his visit, General Farrell supplied a unique and broad perspective on the outlook of our Nation’s national security apparatus. Part of General Farrell’s keen insight derives from his leadership of NDIA’s vast portfolio of defense industry stakeholders, including 1,764 corporate entities and over 90,000 individuals.

“NDIA is America’s leading defense industry association promoting national security by providing a legal and ethical forum for the exchange of information between industry and government on national security issues. Engagements such as this, offer us the opportunity to communicate key issues with our partners and inform policy makers”, said General Farrell.

Analytic Services’ senior leadership and staff attended while using the opportunity to ask questions in an unattributed forum. Dr. Ruth David, Analytic Services CEO, commented “the Distinguished Speaker Series and guests such as General Farrell demonstrate our commitment to inform decisions that shape the Nation’s future”.
