Leading Authorities is proud to announce the signing of our newest exclusive speaker, Andy Stern, the president of the 2.2 million-member Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the fastest-growing union in North America. Stern turned SEIU into a powerful political force, and Stern and SEIU were widely credited for helping elect Barack Obama in 2008.
Stern is one of the most connected Democrats in Washington, and has been one of the most frequent visitors to the White House during the Obama Administration. During his fourteen year tenure atop SEIU, Stern pushed labor to modernize and to build stronger partnerships with employers and faith-based, environmental, and community organizations who share members’ aspirations. On healthcare, he worked closely with industry groups and business, and he counts among his friends, and is admired for his insight, by captains of industry, Republicans and Democrats. He believes in finding common ground with his opponents and in being able to agree without being disagreeable.
Smart, savvy, and articulate, Stern has been the subject of a cover story in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, as well as feature stories on 60 Minutes, Charlie Rose, and Bill Moyers Journal, and in countless other newspapers and magazines.
Stern will be addressing audiences about politics and issues such as fiscal policy, entitlements, immigration, healthcare, and the future of the labor movement. He will speak independently, and also be matched with leading Republican thinkers.
