How Ronald Reagan Turned Around a Failing Economy and Ended the Cold War
By Keynote - Mark Weinberg
Mark Weinberg will draw on his more than 10 years with Ronald Reagan (1980 presidential campaign, White House, and post-presidency) to identify "The Five Ps" which made President Reagan successful, and which can be used even today.

Weinberg joined the Reagan presidential campaign in 1980, served all eight years in the White House as Assistant Press Secretary and Special Assistant to the President and was Director of Public Affairs in Reagan’s post-presidency office for two years. He accompanied Reagan on all foreign and domestic trips, including weekends at Camp David.
Commentary by Weinberg has been published in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, USA TODAY, The Huffington Post, The Washington Times, The Washington Examiner, The Star-Ledger, Vital Speeches of the Day, FOX News, CNN.com, The Bulwark, The Plain Dealer, POLITICO and Columbia Journalism Review.
