Keynote Speaker
Caitlin Bognaski is a 2005 graduate of Wake Forest University. While at Wake Forest, she was an ROTC cadet and a Division I Cross Country and Track athlete. Upon graduation, she received her commission as an officer in the U.S. Army. She attended her Engineer Basic Officer Course at Ft. Leonard Wood as well as the Sapper Leader Course, becoming the just the 12th female to graduate from the combat engineer program. She served in both Iraq and Afghanistan before being honorably discharged in October 2009. Caitlin has a unique military perspective. She grew up in a military family, served in the Army, and married a team leader of the Army’s 10th Special Forces Group. We will also receive briefings from our Veteran Affairs partners here in Utah.
