The Ronald Reagan Centennial Symposium

The symposium "Leadership and Legacy" at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was a GREAT event!  Co-sponsored with USC, the event drew a packed house in early February.

The keynote address was given by Tom Brokaw and the panel he moderated featured authors and historians Richard Reeves, Lou Cannon,  former California Governor and U.S. Senator Pete Wilson and Douglas Brinkley.
