About Michael Steele, Keynote Speaker

Chairman Steele was elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee on January 30, 2009.  As Chairman, Steele has endeavored to set a new direction for the Republican Party – actively engaging Americans in their local communities and empowering state and local Republican organizations to do the same.  A self-described "Lincoln Republican," Chairman Steele earned a place in history in 2003 when he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, becoming the first African-American elected to statewide office in the state.  An expert on political strategy and election reform, he previously served as Chairman of GOPAC, and also held posts on the National Federal Election Reform Commission and the NAACP Blue Ribbon Commission on Election Reform.

Chairman Steele's experiences as a successful elected conservative African-American Republican and his engaging speaking style have launched him into national prominence.  His ability as a communicator and political analyst have been showcased by his position as a contributor on the Fox News Channel and as a regular host for the Salem Radio Network's nationally syndicated Morning in America Show. Additionally, Chairman Steele is an entertaining and eloquent guest on cable political talk shows such as HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher and Comedy Central's The Colbert Report.
