During the next 24 hours he received real time information from numerous government agencies and worked directly with the National Command Authority to respond to the terrorist attacks. Lieutenant Colonel Darling witnessed firsthand the enormity of the crisis and the leadership decisions that were made that day on behalf of all Americans. Speaker Lieutenant Colonel Robert J. Darling, United States Marine Corps (Ret.) In October 2007, Lieutenant Colonel Darling retired from the United States Marine Corps with just over twenty years of active duty service. He was selected to fly as a presidential pilot with Marine Helicopter Squadron One and in October 2000, he was handpicked to work for the White House Military Office, Airlift Operations Department. It was in that capacity that Lt. Col. Darling supported the President, Vice President and National Security Advisor on September 11, 2001. Bob is a public speaker on crisis leadership and decision making and is the author of 24 Hours Inside the President s Bunker, 9/11/01: The White House.
Convention Program & Preview Breakout Sessions Board and Management: We Are On The Same Team!
