How will the issues at the forefront of this election directly impact your organization? HWA represents the most sought after political experts on Election 2008 who can clarify the major issues - the economy, healthcare, Iraq, etc. Please call me to discuss how these speakers will tailor their presentations for an informative and entertaining event.

Addressing 1,500 attendees last week at the Economic Club of Southwestern Michigan to thunderous applause, Charles Krauthammer is in demand for his astute observations on the candidates. A frequent commentator on Fox News and columnist for the Washington Post and NewsWeek, Mr. Krauthammer’s latest column focuses on John McCain's recent statements about staying in Iraq.

Between speaking for the Association for Corporate Growth next week in Orlando, serving as Economic Adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign and co-chair of the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict with Angelina Jolie, Gene Sperling is everywhere!  Mr. Sperling continually receives rave reviews from our clients for his engaging speeches: “Gene probably spent the first 15 minutes or so telling very funny stories about his early White House Career. This really got everyone's attention and then he went on to discuss economic and political issues. He was sensitive to our concerns of not making a political speech and handled that skillfully. Everyone was talking about how much they enjoyed his presentation...Gene really surprised everyone.” (Management Association of Chicago)

One of our newest exclusive speakers, Peter Wehner, former Deputy Assistant to President George W. Bush and Director of the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives, was quoted in the Washington Post last week on Barack Obama: “He radiates a kind of reasonableness and fair-mindedness. He has the capacity to give voice to another person's argument even as he disagrees with them. All those things work in his favor and make it more difficult to pin an ideological label on him.” Mr. Wehner has been highly visible in the media recently, appearing on Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360º, Joe Scarborough’s Morning Joe on MSNBC, CNBC’s Kudlow & Company, and C-SPAN several times, in addition to his op-eds “McCain's Challenge” in the Wall Street Journal and  “Why Republicans Like Obama” in the Washington Post.

Offering fascinating insights on the Election and the candidates, Dee Dee Myers has been on all the cable news shows lately and her new book is on The New York Times Bestseller List. In Why Women Should Rule the World, Ms. Myers makes the case socially and economically for more women in public life. At present, women only account for 17% of members of national parliaments. “You can't leave out half the world's experience and expect to address all the problems,” says Myers. “Women communicate differently and process information differently, which leads them to resolve conflicts differently.”

 

 

Which voting trend is most disturbing to Senator Rick Santorum? Hint: It’s not a vote for Hillary or Obama! (read article)  We receive fantastic feedback from Senator Santorum’s speaking engagements, including: “The audience of approximately 1,200 was extremely attentive and moved by your remarks. In my more than 15 years of arranging for “celebrity” speakers, I do not recall any of our speakers receiving the standing ovation which you received at the conclusion of your remarks.” (Traffic Club of Pittsburgh)
