Join Us April 26
You are invited to join us for our monthly Veteran networking breakfast. This networking event is a forum for military Veterans in business and those who support them, or wish to team with them, to meet and connect. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to network with other Veterans committed to success in business.
Although the focus of the ORP is on the connections made between and with Veterans, we do have a speaker each month. The speaker for April is Dr. J. Phillip “Jack” London. Dr. London is Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board of CACI International Inc. (NYSE), a $3.6 billion information technology and professional services company, employing 16,000 employees in 120 offices worldwide. London joined CACI in 1972, and previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer from 1984 to 2007.
London is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy (1959) and the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School (1967), where he earned, respectively, a Bachelor of Science in naval engineering and a Master of Science in operations research. He holds a doctorate in business administration conferred “with distinction” from George Washington University (1971).
In the U.S. Navy (1959-1971), London served as a naval aviator and as Aide and Administrative Assistant to the Vice Chief of the Naval Material Command. In the Navy Reserve (1971-1983), he served as a designated Naval Aeronautical Engineering Duty Officer and commanding officer of aeronautical engineering reserve units with the Naval Air Systems Command, Washington, DC.
London’s honors include the Association of the United States Army’s John W. Dixon award (2003), the Navy League’s Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz award (2007), and the Naval Orders’ Admiral of the Navy George Dewey Award (2013). London was named one of the Most Influential People in Business Ethics by the Ethisphere Institute (2014). Since 2002, the Human Resources Leadership Awards of Greater Washington gives its annual Dr. J.P. London Ethics in Business Award.
London is the author of Character: The Ultimate Success Factor (2013) and other books. Proceeds from Character are donated to wounded and disabled veterans organizations. Dr. London will discuss his incredible career building one of the largest and most respected government contractor companies in the world. Most importantly he will provide advice on how a Veteran can build a company based on integrity and strength of character that every Veteran is taught in the military. Dr. London will also be signing his book so come prepared to purchase this very valuable guide to leading and building a company without sacrificing character. All royalties of the book are donated to CAUSE (Comfort for America’s Uniformed Services).
Don’t pass up this opportunity to network with other Veterans focused on success in business. If you are a company looking for a VOSB or SDVOSB to team with there is no better place to find qualified Veteran owned businesses than at ORP.
ORP is hosted by Lee Dougherty, a service connected disabled Veteran and Principal at Offit Kurman, Attorneys at Law.
