In honor of its 20th reunion, the Class of 2004 is proud to establish an endowment to support the National Character and Leadership Symposium at the U.S. Air Force Academy. This endowment reflects our class’s commitment to fostering leadership, character and ethical decision-making within the Cadet Wing for generations to come.
NCLS, a cornerstone event under the Center for Character and Leadership Development, brings together distinguished speakers from various sectors — military, business, athletics and non-profit organizations — to provide invaluable insights into leadership and character. They enrich the cadet experience beyond the classroom.
By supporting NCLS, we ensure that cadets gain the skills and knowledge necessary to lead with integrity in an increasingly complex world. We aim to raise $250,000 for the Class of 2004 NCLS Endowment, which will play a crucial role in maintaining the high standards and comprehensive nature of this premier event.
The endowment will support the inclusion of top-tier speakers, ensuring that cadets are exposed to an array of perspectives and experiences. Your contribution to this endowment is an investment in the future leaders of our Air Force, Space Force and nation. In acknowledgment of these gifts, our Class of 2004 will be appropriately recognized for our generous support.
If you have questions, please contact the Class of 2004 class gift committee at 2004usafa@gmail.com.
Pay it ’04ward!
