Flint Hills Military History Symposium Leadership and War - The Art and Science of Critical Decisions

November 7-9, 2025

Hello Melody,

We are honored to announce our Keynote Speaker for this year: General Richard D. Myers, USAF (Retired).

From fighter pilot to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and later as President of Kansas State University, General Myers brings a wealth of leadership experience drawn from decades of service in both military and academic arenas. His insights into leadership, strategy, and public service promise to be both inspiring and impactful. We look forward to welcoming General Myers and learning from his extraordinary journey.
