Keynote Speaker Norm Eisen
Amb. (ret.) Norman L. Eisen is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings, a CNN political commentator, and the chair and co-founder of the government watchdog group Citizens for Corporate Responsibility in Washington (CREW). From 2009-11, he served in the White House as special counsel and special assistant to the president for ethics and government reform.
Norm is also the author of The Last Palace, his highly anticipated memoir about the mansion he lived in as U.S. Ambassador to Prague.
