PUBLIC OFFICIALS
Top government officials and legislators play a vital role in World Forum deliberations and provide unparalleled insight into policy developments. Vice President Dick Cheney has attended regularly for twenty years, as have numerous cabinet secretaries, White House officials, chairmen of the Federal Reserve Board and important regulatory agencies, and congressional leaders from both parties. Non-U.S. officials have included leading economic, trade, banking, and defense officials and members of parliament from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Russia, and Latin America.
