SUMMARY:ARNSF – May 21
DESCRIPTION:Decisions come from a combination of people\, process and policy. A U.S. president’s decisions — which affect billions of people around the world — depend on whom the president relies on\, how information flows to and from the president\, and the range of options presented. In this edition of the ARNSF\, Jason J. Galui\, director of the Endicott Center for Civic Participation\, will discuss how each American president since the National Security Act of 1947 has adapted the national security decision-making process and will consider what attributes future U.S. presidents must have to ensure their decisions “do the greatest good for the greatest number.” \n\nJason J. Galui leads the Endicott College Center for Civic Participation and serves as the College Fellow for Civics. Originally from Beverly\, Massachusetts\, Jason returned to his hometown in early 2026 after more than 30 years of service to the country. \nMost recently Galui was the director for Veterans and Military Families at the George W. Bush Institute and taught “Presidential Decision Making” at the John G. Tower Center for Public Policy and International Affairs at Southern Methodist University in Dallas\, Texas. \nThroughout a unique military career\, Galui led soldiers into combat during the U.S. invasion of Iraq; deployed to Kabul from 2011 to 2012\, where he served as a strategic adviser to the commanding general of the NATO Training Mission–Afghanistan; taught economics to two generations of West Point cadets; directly advised the 18th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon; and served in both the Obama and Trump White Houses. \nAs deputy executive secretary of the National Security Council and chief of staff to the national security adviser\, Galui was a key point of continuity during the 2017 presidential transition. His final assignment in the U.S. Army was as senior adviser for national security at the White House Council of Economic Advisers from 2019 to 2020. \nGalui earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and a master’s degree in economics from the University of Texas at Austin. He and his wife\, Samantha\, also an Army combat veteran\, have been married for more than 22 years and have two children. \n\nThe event is only open to members of the Arter-Rowland National Security Forum and their guests.  \nIf you are not a member of the Arter-Rowland National Security Forum\, CLICK HERE TO JOIN. \nARNSF Members may register below. \n\nQuestions about registration? – Contact Stephenie Cole\, scole@cgscf.org or call 913-651-0624. \nFor questions about the ARNSF contact Col. (Ret.) Todd Schmidt at tschmidt@cgscf.org. \n\nThe 2026 Arter-Rowland National Security Forum is sponsored by:
