Ken Adelman will speak at the Allied Trades of the Baking Industry (ATBI) Leadership Breakfast on March 21 at the American Bakers Association (ABA) 2016 Convention, which will be held March 20-23 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency during the Reagan administration will give attendees unique insight into what they can learn from the late president during one of his most challenging moments.
Adelman’s presentation, “Leadership Lessons from the Master: Ronald Reagan,” will draw upon his highly-acclaimed book, “Reagan at Reykjavik: Forty-Eight Hours that Ended the Cold War,” which will soon become a feature film. As an adviser to the president during the Iceland superpower summits with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Adelman will share his experience to offer a firsthand look into the character and leadership of Ronald Reagan during the weekend that became a key turning point in the Cold War.
