Veteran Democratic strategist and political commentator Donna Brazile will speak over lunch at the 2010 Possible Woman Leadership Conference. POWER CONNECTIONS -- Women Linked for Strategy, Significance and Success! is the perfect theme for the 14th Annual Possible Woman Conference, which meets this year at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Tuesday, April 20. Brazile is an on-air contributor on CNN, NPR and ABC where she regularly appears on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." The first African-American woman to manage a presidential campaign, Brazile worked on every presidential campaign from 1976 through 2000. She has been named one of "20 Remarkable Visionaries" (The Oprah Magazine), "100 Most Powerful Women in Washington" (Washingtonian) and "50 Most Powerful Women in America" (Essence).
"Donna is such a presence!" says Linda Wind, president and CEO of Wind Enterprises, presenter of the conference. "She offers incredible insight and has been very well-received as a speaker."
In addition to her television work, Brazile is a syndicated columnist, adjunct professor, vice chair of Voter Registration and Participation at the Democratic National Committee and founder of Brazile and Associates LLC, a general consulting, advocacy and training firm in Washington, DC.
She authored the best-selling memoir Cooking with Grease: Stirring the Pots in American Politics. She is passionate about encouraging political involvement for women and young people and about recovery efforts for her beloved native city of New Orleans.
