Former DHS leader will also Chair the Empower AI External Advisory Board
Empower AI is delighted to announce that the Honorable Elaine Duke, the former Deputy Secretary (as well as Acting Secretary), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has joined the Board of Directors. As a member of the Board, Ms. Duke will provide guidance and direction on matters such as strategy, governance and growth. In addition, Ms. Duke will also serve as the inaugural member and Chair of Empower AI’s External Advisory Board.
