  • Former NASA Deputy Manager—International Space Station
  • Founded four companies
  • International leadership consultant
  • Author
  • Rinzai Zen priest
  • 5th degree black belt in Aikido

At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 8 in Madison Area Technical College's Gourmet Dining Room, Dr. Whitelaw will talk about her latest book “Move to Greatness.” It describes how you can escape the pitfalls of partial leadership and be more effective and better balanced.
