Chair’s Note, 6 May 2019

Senior US analysts Stan Sloan and Jim Townsend have joined The Alphen Group. Stan was for many years a senior expert on NATO and transatlantic relations at the Congressional Research Service and one of the most respected analysts on the ‘Hill’. As Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO Policy Jim was for many years ‘Mr Europe’ at the Pentagon. He is now with the Center for a New American Security in Washington.

With Stan and Jim joining The Alphen Group is fast developing as an informal network of senior thinkers committed to revitalising transatlantic relations and European defence. Watch his space! Far more to come.

Welcome on board Gentlemen!
