George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, was sworn into office on January 20, 2001 and served as Commander in Chief for two consecutive terms. Before his presidency, he served for six years as Governor of the State of Texas. Since leaving office, President Bush has focused his attention on developing the George W. Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. At its core, the Bush Center will be guided by the same principles that defined the presidency of George W. Bush: freedom, opportunity, responsibility, and compassion. On the morning of January 21, 2009, former President Bush began writing his memoir. In Decision Points (released on November 9, 2010), he offers a strikingly personal and candid account of the most defining decisions of his personal life and his presidency.
The Armada Specialty Pharmacy Summit is scheduled for May 10-13, 2011, at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas and is expected to draw more than 1,500 attendees and hundreds of organizations representing the majority of
the nation's specialty pharmacy industry. Lawrence S. Irene, CEO of Armada, stated, "We are honored that President Bush will be speaking at our conference. As the largest gathering of industry stakeholders, our annual meeting offers the ideal agenda to gain a valuable insight into the rapidly growing specialty pharmacy channel. One of the many highlights of our conference will certainly be the keynote address by President Bush."
