Board of Directors

LWI’s Board of Directors is composed of distinguished individuals who serve without compensation, who dedicate a tremendous amount of time to LWI governance, and who continue to be bound by a conflict of interest policy that prohibits personal or organizational gain from LWI Board service. The directors share a common interest in enabling business, industry, and nonprofit partners to collaborate with the military to fulfill technology-related needs of the Army at Fort Leonard Wood and elsewhere. As a consequence, they leverage the growth of defense-related companies, governmental entities and organizations in the region.Our LWI Officers and Board of Directors are:
