Dick Cheney
46th Vice President, United States of America

For more than 40 years, Dick Cheney has served in the highest levels of the U.S. government and the private sector. His political career includes serving as White House Chief of Staff in the aftermath of Watergate and America’s withdrawal from Vietnam; Congressman of Wyoming and a member of the House Republican leadership during the Reagan years; Secretary of Defense as the Cold War ended and Americans defeated Iraq in Desert Storm; CEO of Halliburton, one of the world’s foremost energy firms; and Vice President of the United States in the George W. Bush Administration. Few Americans can match the depth and breadth of his public service and experience.

Cheney is widely acknowledged as one of the most powerful and influential vice presidents in U.S. history. He transformed national security and intelligence policy. Domestically he was pivotal in reorganizing the government to defend the homeland. Following the closest presidential election in American history, Cheney was also instrumental in overseeing the selection of George W. Bush’s first Cabinet and later screening nominees for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Renowned for his zeal for building a strong America, Cheney will provide members with a unique perspective on the economic and geopolitical challenges of our time.
