OUR 2023 KEYNOTE SPEAKER LTG H.R. GEN. McMASTER (ret.)

The World Affairs Council of Orange County’s 2023 Gala had the honor of having LTG H.R. GEN. McMaster (ret.) as the keynote speaker of the night. Moder- ated by President and CFO of First Ameri- can Trust Jerry Braakman, the discussion touched on warfare and security tactics, the state of our current American mili- tary in foreign relations, and much more. “[The discussion] features the impor- tance of the World Affairs Council as a convinient organization that helps Ameri- cans understand better the challenges and opportunities we’re facing interna- tionally, and how we can work together to demand better politics to build a better future,” said LTG H.R. Gen. McMaster (ret.). The evening served as a chance for our Gala attendees and the community at large to gain perspective and insight on our country’s challenges and opportuni- ties on a global scale and the role that America holds.
