PNC Financial Services Inc. is underwriting Kathleen Hicks’ 10:45 a.m. lecture Monday in the Amphitheater. Hicks is a senior vice president, Henry A. Kissinger chair and International Security Program director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. PNC is sponsoring her lecture as part of the annual PNC Day at Chautauqua, which is in its 22nd year.

“PNC Day at Chautauqua is a highlight of our summer calendar each year,” said James F. Stevenson, PNC regional president, northwestern Pennsylvania. “We enjoy visiting this regional asset and are proud to be part of such an amazing lecture series.”

Hicks previously served in the Department of Defense as principal deputy undersecretary for policy and as deputy undersecretary of defense for strategy, plans and forces. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and serves on the boards of the Truman National Security Project and SoldierStrong. In 2015, she was a presidentially appointed commissioner for the National Commission on the Future of the Army.
