Healthcare Reform Expert And Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle To Address NACDS Pharmacy & Technology Conference

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) announced former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) as this year"s keynote speaker at the NACDS Pharmacy and Technology Conference. Senator Daschle will speak on Sunday, August 9, 2009, at the Business Program to be held from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. "Senator Daschle is a healthcare expert," commented NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE. "Who better to address the value of pharmacy in the healthcare reform debate than a former United States Senate leader, close confidant to President Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Sebelius, and active healthcare reform power-player in Washington, D.C.? Senator Daschle certainly fits the bill." The 12th Annual NACDS Pharmacy and Technology Conference will be held August 8-11, 2009, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Senator Daschle was first elected to Congress in 1978. Eight years later, he was elected to the U.S. Senate. In 1994, Senator Daschle was elected by his colleagues as their Democratic leader, and became one of the longest serving Senate Democratic leaders in history and the only one to serve twice as both Majority and Minority Leader. Following his Congressional career, Senator Daschle joined with former Senate Majority Leaders George Mitchell (D-ME), Bob Dole (R-KS), and Howard Baker (R-TN) to form the Bipartisan Policy Center, an organization dedicated to finding common ground on some of the pressing public policy issues, including healthcare. "Senator Daschle has first-hand experience and uniquely understands the legislative and procedural intricacies of healthcare reform legislation," continued Anderson. "It will be a great privilege to hear Senator Daschle"s words of wisdom as healthcare reform dominates the agenda in the Nation"s capital."
