World Affairs Council of Greater Houston presents: Secretary of Defense Mattis – Call Sign Chaos – Learning to Lead

Date:  September 23, 2019

Tickets & Information: Visit the World Affairs Council Website

Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead is the account of former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis‘s storied career, from wide-ranging leadership roles in three wars to ultimately commanding a quarter of a million troops across the Middle East. Along the way, Mattis recounts his foundational experiences as a leader, extracting the lessons he has learned about the nature of warfighting and peacemaking, the importance of allies, and the strategic dilemmas — and short-sighted thinking — now facing our nation. He makes it clear why America must return to a strategic footing so as not to continue winning battles but fighting inconclusive wars.

Mattis describes the challenges and techniques of leadership at the strategic level, where military leaders reconcile war’s grim realities with political leaders’ human aspirations, where complexity reigns and the consequences of imprudence are severe, even catastrophic. Call Sign Chaos is a memoir of a life of warfighting and lifelong learning, following along as Mattis rises from Marine recruit to four-star general. It is a journey about learning to lead and a story about how he, through constant study and action, developed a unique leadership philosophy, one relevant to us all.

“Combining simplicity and thoughtfulness, Jim Mattis has produced a classic account of a lifetime of service. ‘Call Sign Chaos’ is a lesson in leadership and an evocation of humanity in the cause of peace.” — Henry Kissinger, 56th Secretary of State of the United States

“In this magnificent memoir, Jim Mattis details many important events in his career, but he also does much more: He explains how he is informed by his experiences in a way that teaches you how to learn from your own. Read, enjoy, and learn. ” — George Shultz, 60th Secretary of State of the United States

A copy of his book, Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead, is included with every ticket.

As a joint force commander, Secretary Mattis commanded U.S. Joint Forces Command, NATO’s Supreme Allied Command for Transformation, and U.S. Central Command. At U.S. Central Command, he directed military operations of more than 200,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, Marines and allied forces across the Middle East.

History of the Red White & Blue Golf Classic:

Brent Coon and Associates hosted the first inaugural “Red, White & Blue Golf Classic” on Oct. 4th, 2014 with proceeds going to benefit the Lone Survivor Foundation. The “Red, White & Blue Golf Classic” was sponsored by BCA, with the event being held at Brent Coon’s Country Club of Texas in Beaumont Texas. The BCA Beaumont Law Office worked tirelessly to round up teams, sponsors, prizes, donations, food and beverage and was a huge success. Attorney, Philip Kanayan, represented BCA’s Houston Office and fielded a golf team as well.

The “Red, White & Blue Golf Classic” raised over $15,000 dollars for the Lone Survivor Foundation, which helps our military veterans cope with emotional and physical trauma sustained while in the service. After the event BCA founder Brent Coon stated “We did almost all of this work in house, and everyone involved should be proud of what we accomplished getting this annual event off the ground. Next year we will be much further along with preparations and organization, and we will target $25,000.”

Helping our Armed Forces is a cause close to Brent Coon’s heart, as his father was in the Army and Mr. Coon himself was born in Hanford Army Base in Washington. Brent has a number of family members which have been recently engaged in military action in the Middle East.

About our featured guest:  Captain Chad Fleming

Captain Fleming has been deployed overseas six times with the U.S. Army’s elite 75th Ranger Regiment in support of both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He has been wounded in combat on three separate occasions and has undergone 23 surgeries, one of which resulted in a trans-tibial amputation of his left leg. While most would assume this type of injury would conclude someone’s service to their country. Captain Fleming has re-deployed five times since his injuries, each time going right back into the fight. He is one of the few amputees who have been able to redeploy into combat as an amputee.

After serving with distinction and receiving numerous awards and decorations, including the Meritorious Service Medal, two Bronze Star medals with Valor, and three Purple Hearts, he retired from active duty and still serves our country in other capacities.

He has completed marathons, triathlons, tough mudders and cycling events throughout the United States and is also a sought after inspirational speaker. Numerous Fortune 500 companies have asked Chad to bring his message of resilience, perseverance, and his “Never Quit” attitude into their companies to help build their corporate teams. He is a Board Member for the “Lone Survivor Foundation,” and travels around the country as part of Marcus Luttrell’s Patriot Tour.
