On 28 Mar 14, I had the opportunity to go attend a Women in National Security event hosted by Women in International Security. The speaker was the newly appointed Secretary of the Air Force Honorable Deborah Lee James.  I learned about it only a couple days before and felt fortunate to attend.  I felt pretty cool ‘live tweeting’ the event #secjamesatwiis and also scribbled notes on about everything she said…not realizing the whole thing was being filmed by C-SPAN.  I still want to share what I learned from her with all of you. It was such an exciting moment for me, to get to know not only our new SECAF, a women in the most senior Air Force position, but she is incredibly personable, intelligent, grounded and genuine.
