CEPA’s President and CEO, Dr. Alina Polyakova, said: “It is an honor to welcome former Congressman Will Hurd to CEPA’s high-level advisory group. Will’s distinguished public service record speaks to the thoughtful and strategic lens through which he has approached key national security questions: from cyber and AI to connecting foreign and domestic policy, few are as well versed in these diverse issues. I am thrilled to have Will’s experience and expertise to help guide CEPA’s future.”
Congressman Hurd said: “I’m honored to join CEPA’s International Leadership Council and contribute my experience in national security, emerging technologies like AI, and cyber threats. As the world becomes more interconnected, we must work closely with allies to address shared challenges and uphold democratic values.
