(INDIANAPOLIS) — Keynote speakers Donna Brazile and Dana Perino of Fox News will deliver a message of unity during the Indiana Chamber’s 30th Annual Awards Dinner, presented by Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, on November 7 in downtown Indianapolis.
Brazile, former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, has been a leading voice for her party for many years. Perino is a former White House press secretary for President George W. Bush.
“In an era that unfortunately features too much partisanship and an inability for political leaders to work together, we feel Donna and Dana’s push for more civility is a perfect fit for this event,” says Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar. “We look forward to their perceptions and analysis.”
On Fox News, Perino serves as a commentator and co-host of The Five, and anchor of The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino. She is also a publishing executive. Brazile is the founder and managing director of Brazile & Associates. She is also an adjunct professor at Georgetown University; syndicated newspaper columnist for Universal Unclick; columnist for O, the Oprah Magazine; and most recently started at Fox News as a contributor.
The Indiana Chamber will also present of four awards: the Birch Bayh-Richard Lugar Government Leader of the Year (Gov. Eric Holcomb), Dynamic Business Leader of the Year (John Thompson), Republic Airways and LIFT Academy Community of the Year (Plymouth) and Ogletree Deakins Business Leader of the Year (Chuck Surack, Sweetwater Sound).
