VPPPA Keynote Speaker - Jonna Mendez!

🎤 VPPPA is excited to welcome Jonna Mendez, former CIA Intelligence Officer with 27 years of service, as a keynote speaker at this year's Safety+ Symposium in Washington, D.C.

Jonna joined the CIA's Office of Technical Service (OTS) in early 1970, an office remarkably similar to the "Q" Branch in the James Bond Movies. By 1993, she had risen to the position of CIA's Chief of Disguise, where she was responsible for a worldwide staff that created identity transformations for both CIA officers and foreign assets working with the U.S. government.

She has participated in over two dozen television documentaries on various channels, including Discovery, PBS, and HISTORY. Her work has recently been featured in The Washington Post, WIRED's Masterminds YouTube series, The Wall Street Journal, and NPR, among many others.

Early Bird tickets are available until April 15. Register today!
