ANNOUNCEMENT 
Captain "Sully" Sullenberger
Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger will deliver the keynote address at AGRiP’s Governance Conference 2020 in Orlando, FL.

One of the most captivating American heroes of our time, Capt. Sullenberger’s preparation and leadership enabled him to safely guide US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency landing in New York City’s frigid Hudson River on Jan. 15, 2009.

Capt. Sullenberger’s keynote will underscore the importance of preparing for any situation through lifelong learning, risk management and innovation.
