LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Aug. 15, 2012) — Now in its third year, Greater Louisville Inc.’s Legislative Appreciation dinner provides an opportunity for business leaders from across the region to hear from one of the nation’s leading political authorities and honor Jefferson County’s elected officials.

The guest speaker for the Sept. 26 event will be Mark Halperin, editor-at-large and senior political analyst for “TIME,” covering politics, elections and government for the magazine and TIME.com. Halperin also is the co-author of the New York Times No. 1 best-seller “Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, Palin and McCain, and the Race of a Lifetime.”

Halperin will provide a preview of the 2012 elections and the current political landscape, and is sure to be full of the spirited commentary he is known for as senior political analyst for MSNBC, and in his regular appearances on “Morning Joe” and other programs on the cable channel.

“It is a true treat to hear national-caliber insights into the political climate, while showing our appreciation to Louisville’s local, state and federal elected officials,” said Carmen Hickerson, vice president of communications and public affairs for Greater Louisville Inc.
