When small and independently owned cable television company executives who are members of advocacy group ACA Connects gather in Washington, D.C., to attend its 30th anniversary Summit, a dinner at the National Museum of American History will likely be a key highlight.
Offering keynote addresses at the dinner will be a pair of former FCC Chairs.
The most recent FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, and former FCC acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn, will each speak at the affair.
“While serving the American people at the FCC, Ajit and Mignon were admired and respected because they had the key qualities for success: Vision and stamina, grit and endurance, backbone and staying power,” ACA Connects President and CEO Grant Spellmeyer said. “In addition, they are two of most decent people you will find anywhere. It’s going to be a special night.”
The 30th Anniversary dinner is scheduled for Tuesday, February 28, one day before the Summit’s daylong public policy forum.
Pai is today a partner with Searchlight Capital Partners, an investment firm that helped complete the privatization of Univision Communications prior to its merger with Televisa. Clyburn today serves as Principal of MLC Strategies, an independent consulting firm.
