It's been four years since we last heard from our favorite retired commanding general, and we are honored to welcome Dr. Richard Staats back to the Greater EMC Chamber for our Celebrate America 250 Luncheon.

Dr. Richard C. Staats is a retired U.S. Army General Officer and MIT Ph.D. whose 40+ year career spans national security, artificial intelligence, innovation, and organizational leadership. A respected advisor, author, and thought leader, he has traveled throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia, sharing insights on resilience, responsible innovation, and the enduring promise of freedom and democracy.

As America marks its 250th anniversary, Dr. Staats will share a timely and inspiring message on: The American Advantage: Freedom, Innovation, and Opportunity

His message is grounded in service, scholarship, and possibility, and offers a hopeful perspective on the opportunities that lie ahead for our nation, our communities, and future generations.

Join us as we celebrate America 250 and hear from one of the most engaging and thought-provoking speakers to ever address our Chamber audience.
