Focus On: Tammy Duckworth

Academy women are focused on the future, making things happen, taking charge of their lives and shaping the face of our nation. We are leaders, defenders, visionaries, nurturers, inventors and we are creating a new paradigm of female leadership...in all industries...and in all functions. In the pages that follow, we profile academy graduates and their remarkable stories. Stories which we hope, will inspire you to continue your quest for personal excellence.
