Quetsch Lecture: Lorenz on Leadership

John R. "Jack" Quetsch served as Principle Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Comptroller, National President of the ASMC, and member of the Board of Directors and Chief Financial Officer of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PFCU). He was an efficient and effective manager who made a lasting contribution to the federal government, the credit union movement and the ASMC. Moreover, he was a gracious gentleman who was greatly respected by all who knew him. Each year, ASMC features a leader of our community to present the Quetsch Lecture.  The PDI 2010 Quetsch Lecture speaker will be General Stephen Lorenz, Commander, Air Education and Training Command, USAF.  In his 37 years of commissioned service, General Lorenz has held a variety of leadership roles at various levels of command.  From September 2001 to October 2005, he was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Financial Management and Comptroller, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.  When General Lorenz was commander of the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron at Castle AFB in Merced, California, he sat down and wrote out a list of leadership principles.  According to General Lorenz, there was nothing magical about them—they were simply useful precepts he had learned over the years.  Since then, General Lorenz continues to share his thoughts on leadership through his commentaries, commonly known as “Lorenz on Leadership.”

If you wish to register for this session, choose Workshop 88 on 3 June, 1045-1200.
