Blago to Appear on "Trust Panel"

By Soyoung Kwak in Miscellaneous on Sep 26, 2010 4:00PM

As a break from the hullabaloo over the latest installment in the Blago Trial Saga, our beloved former governor will be appearing on a "Trust Forum" in New York City this coming Tuesday during Advertising Week. Sitting on a panel with representatives from Google, Microsoft, and the Harvard Business School, Blago will be discussing his ample personal experiences with trust.

At the panel on Tuesday, Blago will be discussing his "unique take on trust" and it appears that Blago's presence on the panel could actually turn out to be appropriate and relevant to the subject:

Trust, or the lack thereof, has been an overriding issue in the business world and elsewhere since the financial collapse of 2008, said a forum organizer, Matt Scheckner.

"If you wanted to pick a notable public figure in the eye of this trust storm," he said, "the governor is going to come up in the top three."

As much as Blago's contribution to the panel remains debatable, we're looking forward to any insightful videos of Blago's discussion that emerge over the course of this panel.
