NEWS RELEASE
…Allen shares with the Central Vermont community his extensive experience as national incident commander of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico …
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University will host Admiral Thad Allen, USCG (Ret.), on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. in Plumley Armory for this fall’s Todd Lecture Series.
Allen will speak on “Leading through Crisis and Times of Change.”
Allen served as the 23rd commandant of the US Coast Guard. He is best known for his widely-praised performance directing federal response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Most recently he served as national incident commander for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Throughout the course of his 40-year career with the Coast Guard, Allen’s no-nonsense leadership style and competency won him the respect of government leaders who saw him as a man who confronted challenges by capturing and focusing the passion, energy and efforts of diverse stakeholder groups toward achieving common goals.
Most recently at the center of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill when he was appointed by President Obama to lead the country’s efforts to end and clean up the spill, Allen believes that leadership starts with bringing people together, agreeing on goals and creating a unity of effort to solve intractable crises.
As we live in times where the extraordinary is becoming more ordinary, Allen helps audiences understand that importance of preparation, preventative readiness and ensuring that you can manage a crisis before a crisis manages you and your business.
This event is free and open to the public.
