Dr. Chuck Powell
Dr. Chuck Powell is the CEO for Encompassing Leadership Associates, and is a member of the board of the Daisy Alliance which challenges the establishment view that nuclear weapons make the world more secure. Daisy Alliance’s goal is to change the conversation by reframing how nuclear weapons are viewed by both policymakers and the public. Previously, Dr. Powell was in the US Air Force and oversaw up to 150 nuclear warheads. Some of the major questions are do nukes make the world safer, should the US have a “No First Strike” policy and is it effective to invest a minimum of $634 billion over the next ten years to modernize an aging nuclear weapons system, as opposed to reducing nuclear stockpiles? Three of the most important mechanisms to reduce nuclear threats and create a safer world are the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs; the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT); and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
