Senate Leadership Summit

I was fortunate enough to attend the Senate Leadership Summit for Young Professionals today. Over the next couple of days I plan on covering what some of the speakers talked about, my take, and what I heard from others.

The list of speakers and panelist was impressive. They were:

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (who was the summit chair)
Senator Lisa Murkowski
Senator John Sununu
Senator John Thune
Senator Lamar Alexander
Secretary of Labor Elaine Chow
Carly Fiorina - Former Chairman and CEO, HP
Dan Mitchell - Heritage Foundation
Dr. John Goodman - President and CEO, National Center for Policy Analysis
Charles Miller - Chairman, US Secretary of Education's Commission on the Future of Higher Education
Stig Leschly - Founder and Managing Partner, SRL Capital Managment LLC
Rosie Mauk - Former Directory, AmeriCorps
Bill Taylor - Co-Founder and Founding Editor, Fast Company Magazine
Mark McClellan, M.D., Ph.D - Administrator, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, US Department of Health and Human Services

I've got a lot of notes. I'm glad I was able to take the day off and go to DC today and while I certainly didn't agree with everything I heard, it was well worth it.
