Education Secretary to Keynote AAP Annual Meeting
WASHINGTON,DC/Authorlink News/02/11/10--Arne Duncan, the Obama Administration's
popular Secretary of Education, will be the keynote luncheon speaker at the
upcoming Annual Meeting of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) in Washington
on March 3. Secretary Duncan's appearance is particularly relevant since this
year for the first time the AAP Annual Meeting is being held in coordination
with the Annual Meeting of the AAP School Division, giving attendees at both
events the opportunity to hear him.
As the architect of the $4 billion Race to the Top federal education grant
program to the states, as well as the moving force behind $10 billion in competitive
grant programs for education in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and
the $650 million Investing in Innovation Fund, Mr. Duncan is shaping up as one
of the most influential Secretaries in the history of the U.S. Department of
Education. Secretary Duncan will be introduced by AAP Chairman Will Ethridge
(Pearson Education North America), whose opening remarks will focus on "Nurturing
an Educated Workforce to Support a Global Economy."
The meetings will be held at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
The day begins early, with morning meetings of the School Division, to be followed
by a joint luncheon. The AAP General Annual Meeting will be held in the afternoon,
followed by an early reception.
Online registration of the AAP Annual Meeting and the AAP School Division Annual
Meeting can be found at: http://www.publishers.org/main/Conferences/conf_Calendar.htm.
Attendees are welcome to attend seminars at both events throughout the day.
The Association of American Publishers is the national trade association of
the US book publishing industry. AAP's more than 300 members include most of
the major commercial publishers in the United States, as well as smaller and
non-profit publishers, university presses and scholarly societies.
