Please join the CSIS Commission on Strengthening America’s Health Security on Wednesday, March 2, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, for a fireside chat with Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. J. Stephen Morrison, CSIS Senior Vice President and Global Health Policy Center Director, will host and moderate a discussion on how U.S. corporate leadership can contribute to health security.
Scott Kirby has been one of the most proactive chief executives on public health during the Covid-19 pandemic. In August 2021, United Airlines announced a vaccine requirement for all employees, the first major aircraft carrier to do so. Within eight weeks, 99.7 percent of United employees were vaccinated. As Covid-19 related restrictions begin to ease, the travel industry will have to confront a new set of challenges, including a tight labor market, an evolving workplace culture, and geopolitical conflict, all while ensuring the health and safety of employees and customers.
