OUR MISSION
Leadership. Patriotism. Service. It's not just our motto; it's our passion.
Investing in the next generation of leaders is also our legacy - YOUR legacy.
The General Tommy Franks Leadership Institute and Museum was created by General Tommy Franks and his wife, Cathryn Carley Franks, as a historical foundation dedicated to telling the story of the United States military and education. The General Tommy Franks Leadership Institute and Museum invests in the nation's future leaders through several education and outreach programs including the Mobile Classroom + Road Show, the Inspired Leadership Challenge and the Four Star Leadership with General Tommy Franks program.
It is my belief that leaders are not born they are developed, and it is my passion to develop a world-class facility to inspire the next generation of leaders. I encourage you to enhance your own potential by participating in one of our projects and by visiting the General Tommy Franks Leadership Institute and Museum in Hobart, Oklahoma. Thanks and God Bless America!"
-General Tommy Franks (Ret.)
