Michele Rigby Assad - Ex-CIA, nationally recognized keynote speaker, and author of the book; "Breaking Cover". Lynda R. Williams - Retired Secret Service, nationally recognized keynote speaker, Professor of the practice at Middle Tennessee State University. MICHELE RIGBY ASSAD You must keep secrets but skillfully persuade others to tell you theirs. You have to love your country but willingly leave it behind for dangerous operations around the world. You need to live a double life but be trustworthy enough to carry out the nation’s most sensitive tasks. Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people. Working undercover for the CIA, she served in treacherous areas throughout the Middle East—a woman leading some of the most highly skilled operatives on the planet. The threats were real. The missions were perilous. And deep inside, Michele wondered: Could she really do this job or had she misunderstood her life’s calling? In her book Breaking Cover, Michele was cleared to drop cover and tell her story of incredible struggle, of unexpected challenges and thwarted missions, and most significantly, of powerfully realizing what really matters in the face of her greatest fears. Lynda R. Williams Ms. Williams maintains a strong presence in community service and in organizations for professional development and engagement; Ms. Williams served as the 43rd National President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), and remains a long-standing member of the Women in Federal Law Enforcement (WIFLE), International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), National Association for the Advancement of Color People (NAACP), and American Association of University Women (AAUW). She is also an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and serves as a newly appointed board member for Law Enforcement Against Drugs (L.E.A.D.) and the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).
