Glickman, a former congressman and Clinton administration agriculture secretary, has served as chairman and CEO of the MPAA for the past five years. He succeeded the iconic Jack Valenti, who held the position for nearly 40 years.

Among those mentioned in the article: House Foreign Affairs Chairman Howard Berman, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Rep. Harold Ford Jr., Universal Music's Matt Gerson, Richard Bates of Disney, MPAA COO Bob Pisano and federal affairs chief Michael O'Leary. Read the full story here.
