On April 14, 2025, ONS launched the application for our 2025 Out List and New Voices. The Out List can be thought of as our version of a “Forbes 30 on 30,” except there’s no age limit! We aim to select 20-30 LGBTQIA+ individuals working in the national security enterprise who have contributed to their own communities and wish to serve as leaders of a broader one. Our Out List members come from diverse backgrounds and work experiences; the “national security” enterprise is broad, and we want to reflect that. Our New Voices members are LGBTQIA+ professionals, students, researchers, and more who are under 26 and wish to expand their contribution and visibility in the field. Selection for both lists is based on thoughtful and incisive responses to our application, leadership potential, and dedication to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community.
Join us for this informational session to learn more about our annual Out Lists and get any questions you may have answered!
