CEA To Honor Reps. Blunt & Meeks
The Consumer Electronics Association later this month will honor Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., as the trade group's 2009 Digital Patriots. The awards will be handed out April 22 at a banquet that is part of the annual CEA Washington Forum. Blunt, who is a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is the second highest ranking Republican in the House, is being recognized for his leadership on the digital television transition. Meeks is an outspoken advocate for international trade and its benefits for the U.S. economy and chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. This year's Washington Forum will focus on technology policy priorities in the new administration. Event highlights include keynote addresses by David Plouffe, campaign manager, Obama for America; Paul Begala of CNN; and Tucker Carlson of MSNBC. Visits to Congressional offices will take place Tuesday, April 21 followed by dinner at the Newseum. For more information about the event, click here.
