Please join us for an inspiring evening as we support our mission to empower
those who serve while we honor this year’s Soldier-Citizen Award recipient,
Admiral Michael G. Mullen, USN (Ret.).
“Admiral Mike Mullen truly exemplifies the values of a soldier and a citizen. As a soldier, he has given over 40 years of military service to our nation at the highest levels of leadership. As a citizen, he has done significant work in the financial services industry, held numerous board positions with for-profit and nonprofit organizations, taught national security decision-making policy, ethics, and leadership, and has received many distinguished awards. Much of his work with non-profit organizations is related to assisting military veterans and their families. It was an honor to nominate Admiral Mullen for this award in recognition of his sacrifice, success, and service.”
~John M. Howard, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of The American College of Financial Services
Hosted by the American College Center for Military and Veterans Affairs, the Clambake is our premier fundraiser and networking event that garners generous support and has allowed 1,500+ deserving veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and their spouses to receive full scholarships to programs offered by The College.
