In celebration of Black History Month, the City of Portage will host a special speaker at the Air Zoo. This year’s special guest is Lt. General Russel L. Honoré, a decorated 37-year army veteran and a global authority on leadership and emergency preparedness.
As the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina, he became known as the “Category 5 General” for his leadership in coordinating military relief efforts in post-hurricane New Orleans. When Hurricanes such as Harvey, Irma, and Ida approach — or when supply chain issues impact the economy — retired Lt. General Russel Honoré is who news networks like CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and CBS call on as their go-to expert on emergency and disaster preparedness. Today he leads the campaign to find solutions to the climate crisis. Join the City of Portage as we dive into the life journey of Lt. General Russel L. Honoré on Saturday, February 4.
A question and answer session and book signing will take place after the presentation and guests are welcome to explore the Air Zoo’s exhibitions before and after as well. A limited number will be available for purchase (while supplies last).
