Our membership will certainly benefit from President Clinton's experience and wisdom as a prominent world leader and respected statesman as well as from his efforts inspiring humanitarianism around the globe,â€� said Promax/BDA Chairman Michael Benson, ABC Entertainment’s Executive Vice President, Marketing. “As an organization dedicated to furthering the roles of our members as the world’s foremost television marketers, what better example to provide to them than this global communicator whose vision and accomplishments, both during his presidency and beyond, have touched billions.â€� William Jefferson Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. As the first Democratic president to win a second term since Franklin D. Roosevelt, Clinton's administration delivered to the U.S. its lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history and the longest economic expansion in the history of the United States. Since leaving public office, Clinton has devoted himself to his William J. Clinton Foundation, which works to solve some of our most pressing problems, including childhood obesity in the United States, climate change, global poverty and HIV/AIDS around the world. A graduate of Georgetown University who, in 1968, won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University, Clinton received a law degree from Yale University in 1973. Entering politics in Arkansas, he served nearly 12 years as the 50th and 52nd Governor of Arkansas prior to his election as President of the United States in 1992. Promax/BDA will hold its 52nd annual North American conference June 12 – 14 in New York. President Clinton is the first former president to address members of the media confab. Additional speakers and the full Promax/BDA North American Conference agenda will be announced in the coming weeks. Email this article  Printer friendly page
