BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On Thursday, March 12, the Jamestown Foundation will give a salon talk on Global Challenges at Wally Findlay Galleries, Palm Beach. Jamestown is a global research group collecting and analyzing facts on the ground in fifty countries where conflict and instability affect the national security interests of the USA. Its focus is on the former Soviet space, China and Terrorism. The evening will include a conversation featuring guest speakers General Michael Hayden, the Former Director of the CIA, and “KT” McFarland, Fox news commentator and National Security Analyst.
Jamestown is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, which works to inform and educate policy makers and the broader community about events and trends in those societies which are strategically or tactically important to the United States and which frequently restrict access to such information. Utilizing indigenous and primary sources, Jamestown’s material is delivered without political bias, filter or agenda. It is often the only source of information which should be, but is not always, available through official or intelligence channels, especially in regard to Eurasia and terrorism.
Hayden served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2006 to 2009 and was responsible for overseeing the collection of information concerning the plans, intentions and capabilities of America’s adversaries, producing timely analysis for decision makers, and conducting covert operations to thwart terrorists and other enemies of the United States. He also served as the country’s first Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, as Commander of the Air Intelligence Agency, Director of the Joint Command and Control Warfare Center, Director of the National Security Agency, and Chief of the Central Security Service.
McFarland is FOX News’ National Security Analyst and appears regularly on FOX News and FOX Business News. Amongst her many accomplishments, McFarland held national security posts in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan Administrations, as an aide to Dr. Henry Kissinger on the NSC Staff (1970-76), member of the Senate Armed Services Committee Staff (1981), Senior Speechwriter to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and later the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (PA) and Pentagon Spokesman (1981-84). McFarland received the Defense Department’s highest civilian award for her work in the Reagan Administration (Distinguished Service Award, 1985).
Wally Findlay Galleries is proud to support an organization that provides a unique array of specialized publications and research, regarded throughout the world as indispensable sources of information.

ABOUT WALLY FINDLAY: Over our 145-year history, Wally Findlay Galleries has proudly represented many superb artists embodying various schools of art throughout time. William Wadsworth Findlay established the first gallery location in Kansas City, Missouri in 1870. The presidency of the gallery was passed on to William’s eldest son, Walstein C. Findlay Sr. and later to Walstein C. Findlay Jr. (Wally). Under Wally’s presidency the gallery thrived, becoming a well-known cultural destination and opening new locations in Chicago (1931), Palm Beach (1961), New York City (1964), Paris and Beverly Hills (1971). Today, the tradition of commitment to excellence in the fine arts is con- tinued by the company’s Chairman and CEO, James R. Borynack, who acquired the company in late 1998.
Over the years, Wally Findlay Galleries has showcased many different genres, from the Impressionists in the 1870s, to Fauvism in the early-twentieth century. Today, the gallery represents a group of distinguished contemporary artists, both European and American. By practicing the highest standards in our relationship with both the artist and the collector, the gallery upholds its mission to promote and provide quality works by great artistic talents.
