About Howard R. Lind
Mr. Lind, president of the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA), has contributed significantly to the nation's national security, both in the military and the private sector. He served as a surface warfare officer on five ships in the U.S. Navy office for 20 years before retiring in 2000. Mr. Lind was later appointed by President George W. Bush to the Pentagon and the State Department from 2003 to 2007 to support operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Mr. Lind brings the same dedication to ISOA, where he oversees the missions by ethical, accountable and transparent contractors to support national security efforts. Under his leadership, ISOA aims to cultivate effective and innovative teams to support unstable countries overseas. Mr. Lind takes great pride in expanding the association from 35 member organizations in 2016 to over 210 this past year.
Since Mr. Lind's appointment, ISOA's focus has expanded from its initially narrow focus on private security to a broader focus that includes national security policy and on-site application in the defense, diplomatic, and development realms.
As the president, Mr. Lind is responsible for directing ISOA's strategic planning and overseeing their financial management, as well as frequently interacting with the U.S. Congress. He often travels overseas on behalf of ISOA, including missions focused on Ukraine.
ISOA has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since the invasion started and has held several conferences in Europe for businesses supporting Ukraine. The organization is also committed to the Indo-Pacific region, particularly the China-Taiwan situation. ISOA is focused on the defense, diplomatic and development arenas in the region going forward.
Mr. Lind oversees ISOA events and conferences, both locally and abroad. The organization regularly holds webinars on a wide range of topics, including cybertechnology innovation, focusing on artificial intelligence and its impact on national security. ISOA holds panel discussions on a wide array of topics at its annual summit in November in Washington, DC.
Additionally, Mr. Lind has led ISOA to promote the Women, Peace and Security Act, which was created in 2017. The law requires U.S. government agencies to foster and advocate for women's leadership worldwide, particularly in at-risk countries. Under Mr. Lind's guidance, ISOA aims to promote women in leadership in politics, business, education and society at large.
Having served in various capacities in the business world, Mr. Lind is no stranger to talent development. Before presiding at ISOA, he worked as a Washington, DC, representative for Fluor Corporation, overseeing domestic and international work for the government and commercial entities. Mr. Lind also served as a business leader for Booz Allen Hamilton, Matlock & Associates LLC, Value Recovery Holding, and as president for Starboard Side Associates LLC.
Mr. Lind plans to continue his leadership in these fields and to pursue the growth of ISOA. This assignment as president and executive director of ISOA is the highlight of his professional career.
