Wyndham Executive Center (formally the Holiday Inn Executive Center) in Columbia, MO
Join us for the 37th Annual MAPA Conference on January 4-6, 2027, at the Wyndham Executive Center (formally the Holiday Inn Executive Center) in Columbia, MO.
Keynote Speaker
STEVE RUSSELL
Steve Russell brings unique experiences perhaps like no other when it comes to leadership. Whether serving as a soldier, national speaker, critically acclaimed author, small businessman, aviator, pastor or serving the public as a US Congressman, Steve Russell draws on his varied and enormous wealth of experiences to convey what it takes to build teams, lead them and get difficult things done.
Russell is the author of “We Got Him! A Memoir of the Hunt and Capture of Saddam Hussein.” The late Robin Moore, author of The Green Berets and The French Connection praised Russell’s book as “an extraordinary personal glimpse of the war. A monumental credit to himself, his troops, and the United States of America,” while General Tommy Franks calls it “a moving, gripping account of one of the most remarkable achievements of soldiering in a generation.”
Russell has also been the subject of more than a half dozen documentaries and is widely known for his leadership, national security and foreign policy expertise. Through expert storytelling, he captivates audiences with the recounting of his personal experiences as a leader in the hunt and capture of Saddam Hussein while inspiring them with a message of hope.
