NAB2003 attendees will have the opportunity to hear from members of Congress and their staffs at two separate convention events. On April 8, six members of the 108th Congress will be featured panelists at the NAB2003 Congressional Breakfast held at the Las Vegas Hilton. Sens. Conrad Burns, R-Mont. and Norm Coleman, R-Minn. and Reps. Rick Boucher, D-Va., Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., Gene Green, D-Texas, and Lee Terry, R-Neb. will participate in the annual “Congressional Breakfast” which will be moderated this year by Steve Newberry, president/CEO, Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation, and vice chairman of the NAB Radio Board.
Later that day, on a panel entitled “Legislating the Airwaves,” seven congressional aides will discuss the decision-making process on Capitol Hill. These staffers, who advise key members of the House and Senate Commerce Committees, specialize in telecommunications policy.
