Maj. Gen. (ret.) Michael A. Snodgrass last served as the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs, Office of the Under Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C., where he was responsible for formulating and integrating Air Force policy with respect to political-military relationships, security assistance, technology and information disclosure issues, and attaché affairs in support of U.S. government objectives. General Snodgrass entered the Air Force in 1978 with a commission from the U.S. Air Force Academy. A graduate of the USAF Fighter Weapons School, he has flown the F-4, F-15, F-16, HH-60 and C-130. He served as F-16/F-22 Program Element Monitor for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition. He has commanded at the squadron, group and wing levels, and served on the Joint Staff as Chief of the Forces Division (J8). Prior to his current assignment, he was Chief of Staff, U.S. Africa Command, Stuttgart, Germany. General Snodgrass is a command pilot with more than 3,200 flying hours, more than 200 of those in combat. His experience includes more than 100 combat missions over Iraq from 1996 through 2000 as both a squadron commander and Commander of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Group, Al Jaber Air Base, Kuwait. After retiring from the Air Force, he  served in senior executive roles in the Aerospace and Defense sector, leading large organizations and achieving new business bookings in excess of $1B.

This seminar is about more than just "style."  It is about how to elevate your skills as a manager to those of a leader.   After retiring from the Air Force, Mike served in senior executive roles in the Aerospace and Defense sector, leading large organizations and achieving new business bookings of over $1B.  His practical and straightforward approach is derived from not only his military experience but his ability to adapt those skills to the private sector. It is industry agnostic, and applicable to any leadership challenge.

It will held on the beautiful main campus of California Lutheran University, 60 W Olsen Rd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 (see Google Maps). Exact room number and location map will be provided with registration.
