The 132nd Continental Congress App is now available! Download the Congress App to your smartphone or tablet to have the most up-to-date Congress information at your fingertips. From the app, you can access the Congress Schedule, maps, create your own personalized schedule, and read about speakers and honorees. We will be honoring some amazing award winners at this year’s Continental Congress, including our Opening Night keynote speaker Jonna Mendez, former CIA Chief of Disguise, and our National Defense Night keynote speaker, Lieutenant General Nina Armagno, United States Space Force.
During her time in the CIA, Jonna Mendez performed clandestine photography and operational disguise during the Cold War in Havana, Beijing, and Moscow. Today, Mendez works as an author, lecturer, teacher, and consultant on intelligence matters. She has co-written several books with her late husband Antonio Mendez, including Spy Dust: A True Story of Espionage and Romance, Argo, and The Moscow Rules.
Lieutenant General Nina Armagno is the Director of Staff at the United States Space Force and the first lieutenant general commissioned into Space Force. Lt. Gen. Armagno is a graduate of the Air Force Academy, and her career as a space operator with over 35 years of operational experience includes being the only person to command both launch wings in the Air Force.
You can learn more about all of this year’s amazing award winners on the Congress Website Honorees section and on the Congress App.
