If you are in the area, be sure to stop by for our regular FAO Association Luncheons.  They are a great opportunity to make new friends, collaborate and learn from other experts in your field.  Our most recent luncheon on August 26th was an outstanding gathering. We heard from  Rear Admiral Jeffrey A. Lemmons, Director for International Engagement (OPNAV N52), on the Navy's vision for FAO engagement in global maritime strategy.  The food was excellent and the conversation enlightening. We hope you will be able to make it to the next one. Be sure to check back here for information on the FAOA luncheon in November.
