Keynote Speaker James B.
Hunt, Jr. As Governor
for four historic terms, Jim Hunt has led North Carolina through two decades of
dramatic economic change. It was during his tenure as Governor that the state
transitioned from an economy of primarily traditional industries toward one
that includes knowledge-driven industries such as biotechnology,
pharmaceuticals and information technology. Top business leaders from around the country have called former North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt a national pioneer in education and economic reform. His work in the areas of education and economic growth have garnered him numerous awards, including the "Excellence in Public Policy Award" from the New York-based Committee for Economic Development. Governor Hunt was also recently named one of the ten most influential people in American education.
