Industry communications strategist Ed Gillespie will deliver the keynote address during the 10th Annual Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) Legislative Summit on Wednesday and Thursday, April 10-11.
Gillespie was counselor to president George W. Bush in the final 18 months of his administration.
More than a year before taking the counselor title, Gillespie had led the successful Supreme Court confirmation efforts of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito. A former chairman of the Republican National Committee, Gillespie in 2004 became the first GOP chairman in 80 years to preside over his party’s winning the White House, House and Senate.
