Keynote Speaker:
George W. Bush
43rd President of
The United States
President George W. Bush served in the Oval
Office for eight of the most consequential years
in American history. Faced with challenges from
a terrorist attack to a global financial crisis,
he made difficult decisions that will shape
national and world affairs for decades to come.
Many of these are outlined in his best-selling
book
Decision Points.
President Bush’s policies, at times
controversial, kept the country safe for more
than 7 years. He raised standards in public
education, added a prescription drug benefit to
Medicare, launched efforts to fight HIV/AIDS and
malaria in Africa, and strengthened strategic
relationships with India, China, Japan and other
nations.
