We’ve asked AICC’s past presidents and chairs to attend because they so deserve special recognition. Keynote speakers this year are Ron Sasine, Principal at Hudson Windsor; Pippa Malmgren, former special as- sistant to President George W. Bush and an authority on geopolitical, economic, and technological trends; and none other than “The Fonz” himself, Henry Winkler, the Emmy-Award winning actor, author, director, and producer.
