Three of America’s top intelligence leaders. One stage. Unfiltered insight.

Join General Michael V. Hayden, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, as he welcomes his fellow former intelligence leaders — John Brennan, former CIA Director, and Ellen McCarthy, former Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research — for a rare and candid discussion on the national security challenges facing the United States today.

Larry Pfeiffer, the Hayden Center’s Executive Director, moderates the conversation, which includes time for audience questions.

From advising Presidents and Cabinet Secretaries to shaping the modern Intelligence Community, "The Directors" share their unique perspectives on the threats, trends, and transformations defining our national security future — and what it takes to serve inside the IC in this pivotal era.

The Hayden Center is located at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government in Arlington, VA. General Michael V. Hayden, our founder and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, has been a distinguished visiting professor at the Schar School for 16 years.
