Connie Chung

Pundit 

An award-winning investigative reporter and one of the most recognizable faces on American television, Connie Chung has been a powerful force in the news industry for more than 35 years. On the lecture stage she draws on her unique experiences as a working mother and Asian American in addressing the challenges today's women face, advocating diversity in the workplace, and inspiring younger journalists to make a difference in their local communities and worldwide.

The first Asian American and only the second woman to serve as nightly news anchor on a major TV network (The CBS Evening News), Connie has received innumerable accolades for her work, including three national Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, an Edward R. Murrow Award, and two commendations from American Women in Radio and Television. In 2000 she was honored by Amnesty International for her report on the abuse of young women in Bangladesh. A working mother herself, Connie has also been a vocal advocate for mothers and expecting women in the workplace.

A graceful and eloquent keynote speaker, Ms. Chung adds a decided element of class and professionalism to any corporate event, business meeting, commencement exercise or annual gathering.
