The audience will learn the story of an incredible spy career and what it took to achieve it.
Jonna Hiestand Mendez began her CIA career as a “contract wife” performing secretarial duties for the CIA as a convenience to her husband, a young officer stationed in Europe. Yet Mendez had a talent for espionage, too, and she soon took on bigger and more significant roles at the Agency. She lived under cover and served tours of duty all over the globe, rising first to become an international spy and ultimately to Chief of Disguise at CIA’s Office of Technical Service. She retired from the Agency in 1993 and has continued her career as a photographer, a consultant/lecturer, and an author.
The event is free, but seating is limited. Tickets must be reserved ahead of time - link below
Barnswallow will be providing copies of Mendez’s books for purchase at the conclusion of the presentation.
