James Carville and Mary Matalin to Deliver Keynote Address at Industry Conference
Distinguished Political Advisors to Share Experience and Knowledge at Highland Conference
[Birmingham, AL; March 23, 2003]—
Political Consultant, James Carville and former White House assistant to President Bush, Mary Matalin, will headline Highland Capital’s 2003 Annual Conference, being held October 1-3, 2003 at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, CO.
Carville and Matalin are part of a three-day conference of meetings and seminars related to the distribution of financial services to the affluent and corporate marketplace.
Carville gained notoriety in the early 1990’s when he guided Bill Clinton to the Presidency in 1992. In 1993, Carville was honored as Campaign Manager of the Year by the American Association of Political Consultants for his leadership of Clinton’s fearsome and intense “War Room” at campaign headquarters in Little Rock.
“Carville has a keen sense of the political climate in the country,” said Bob Mann, Vice President of Firm Marketing, “and we are excited to hear his insight on the future and how it will impact our industry. He has a great mind for strategic thinking, and we hope to share that knowledge with all of our attendees.
Matalin was the first White House official to hold dual titles. She served as counselor to Vice President Cheney, while also serving as assistant to President Bush. Before joining the White House, Matalin hosted CNN’s critically acclaimed debate show, Crossfire.
“In the past, we have attracted premiere speakers like Bob Dole, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Peggy Noonan,” said Mann. “We are excited to bring both James Carville and Mary Matalin together for our key note address.”
