As we continue to move closer to the 2010 National Sports Forum, we have some breaking news. We are excited to announce that Ari Fleischer will be the keynote speaker for our Alumni Association Luncheon at the 2010 NSF in Baltimore, Tuesday February 2, 2010.

Ari is most commonly known for being the White House press secretary for former President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003, dealing with controversial events such as the historic presidential recount, September 11th, two wars and the anthrax attack. His book, Taking Heat, details his years in the White House and reached # 7 on The New York Times best-seller list.

Upon retiring from politics, Ari followed his passion into sports. He started his own business, Ari Fleischer Sports Communications, which provides press management and media strategy services. He provides counsel to clients including Major League Baseball, the Women's Tennis Association, the United States Olympic Committee and the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. Additionally, he has conducted media training for seven NFL teams, all the NFL head coaches, as well as NASCAR, Indy drivers, and several individual athletes.

We are excited to have Mr. Fleischer as our Alumni Association Luncheon keynote speaker and look forward to his insight in sports.
