Warsaw, Poland, 8 July — The Casimir Pulaski Foundation is pleased to welcome 20 young and emerging leaders to the 9th edition of the Warsaw Security Forum (WSF) through the New Security Leaders Program (NSL).

Embedded within the Warsaw Security Forum, NSL participants work with mentors – world leaders, global thinkers, and experts – to address some of the most pressing global security challenges.

“We are delighted to welcome the 2022 Security Leaders to Warsaw and look forward to their achievements,” said Katarzyna Pisarska, Chair of the Warsaw Security Forum. “We strongly believe that these talented rising leaders are the future of security, and they represent a new generation of experts and practitioners who will contribute to the safety and stability of our world.”
