Mr. Ellis, a former Air Force pilot and POW, is the author of Leading with Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton, in which he details the lessons he learned during his sixty-four months of captivity in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Citing the exemplary leaders he served under who inspired courage through the most horrific circumstances, he relates his experiences to the principles of leadership that we can all apply to our everyday lives. In his book, he states, “In the Hanoi Hilton I learned that leading with honor is about doing the right thing, even when it entails personal sacrifice.” 

This is a special opportunity for our members to listen to one of the great heroes of our country who is now a corporate consultant for leaders of Fortune 500 companies, healthcare executives, small business owners and entrepreneurs.  

Thank you in advance to Bill Lee, Cordillera Ranch member, for introducing Mr. Ellis to us and providing the opportunity for him to speak at our upcoming dinner.
