Memphis Congressman to Speak at AAN East
Newly elected Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), the first non-African American representative since 1974 from Tennessee's majority-black Ninth District, will keynote this weekend's staff-training conference, AAN announced today. Cohen served Memphis in the Tennessee State Senate for 24 years before replacing Harold Ford, Jr. as the city's congressman. For the first time since it premiered in 2004, attendance at AAN East is likely to exceed the total at AAN West, which was held in San Francisco in late January. MORE AAN EAST NEWS: Helen Sutton, who spoke in Little Rock at the 2006 convention and racked up one of the highest scores in the history of AAN's post-convention survey, has been confirmed as the sales-track speaker on Friday afternoon.
