Meet the Keynote: Dana Perino
Former White House Press Secretary, Political Commentator, and New York Times Bestselling Author
Perino is currently the co-anchor for America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer & Dana Perino and co-host of the hit show The Five, both on the Fox News Channel. Before joining Fox, Perino served as the first Republican woman to be press secretary of the United States. She spent more than seven years as part of the administration of President George W. Bush, joining right after the 9/11 attacks as a spokesperson for the Justice Department. Since leaving the White House, Perino became a bestselling author of such books as And the Good News Is…Lessons and Advice from the Bright Side and Let Me Tell You about Jasper … How My Best Friend Became America’s Dog and Everything Will Be Okay: Life Lessons for Young Women (from a Former Young Woman). Her newest book, “I Wish Someone Had Told Me”, is rising on the bestseller list. Perino also hosts the podcast Everything Will Be Okay for Fox News Radio.
