Washington,

- Today, Mike Rogers, Honorary Chairman of Americans for Peace,
Prosperity and Security announced the APPS National Advisory
Board.
The APPS National Advisory Board will advise APPS and Chairman Rogers
on the strategic international issues on which the 2016 presidential
candidates should be focusing. The Board will also participate in
the
national security forums planned in Iowa, New Hampshire and South
Carolina as schedules allow.
"In order to ensure the right issues get in front of the candidates in
the early presidential nominating states, APPS has assembled a stellar
National Advisory Board of prominent national security and business
leaders," said Honorary Chairman Mike Rogers. "These
leaders know the international challenges certain to face the next
American president on day one, and they will engage with APPS
citizen-activists to raise the level of debate and push candidates
beyond rhetoric and talking points."
"APPS is doing incredibly important work in the early presidential
nominating states to ensure the next commander in chief is ready on day
one," said Steve Hadley. "I am honored to be a part of it."
"I am proud to join this effort to focus much-needed attention during
the upcoming presidential campaign on candidates' commitment to
ensuring the security of American citizens and interests at home and
abroad," said Walt Havenstein.
“National security must be part of the public debate when choosing our
next president," said The Honorable Heather Wilson.
"I'm delighted to be part of this
important initiative, because APPS is going to make a difference when
and where we need it most," said Danielle Pletka. "The
two-way flow of information from policy experts to grassroots leaders
in early presidential nominating states will help ensure the next
president is ready to lead on day one."
