Huckabee to keynote Georgia chamber dinner
In the tradition of connecting national leaders with our state’s business community, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that former governor, best-selling author and number one rated weekend television host Mike Huckabee will be the featured speaker at the Annual Meeting Dinner on Jan. 11, 2010.
Governor Huckabee quickly gained national attention as the 44th governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007. Despite the fact that he was one of the youngest governors in the country at that time, he was recognized as a leader in the areas of education and health care reform and named one of the nation’s five best governors by Time Magazine.
Today, Huckabee hosts the weekend hit “Huckabee” on the Fox News Channel and is heard three times a week on the “Huckabee Report,” one of the fastest growing new programs on the Citadel Media Network.
Tickets for the dinner can be purchased at www.gachamber.com/januaryevents or by calling (404) 223-2264.
