Nashville CABLE Taps Warren Buffett Biographer Alice Schroeder to Keynote 2013 Board Walk of Fame
Nashville, Tennessee (PRWEB) July 19, 2013 -- Nashville based CABLE today announced that Alice Schroeder, Warren Buffett’s chosen biographer and former Wall Street analyst, will offer the keynote address for its fourth annual Board Walk of Fame. The 2013 installment of the breakfast event will be held from 7:00-9:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 19 at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena.
Ms. Schroeder offers a unique perspective on her topic, “Bulls, Bears, Buffett and Boards,” borne from a career as a top ranked Wall Street analyst, FASB regulator, external auditor and New York Times best-selling author. While working as a financial analyst, she was persuaded by Warren Buffett to take a sabbatical to become his biographer, as he famously stated that he “likes the way she thinks.” Schroeder spent several years with Buffett, his business associates and his inner circle prior to publishing her book, The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life. Now an independent director on a number of corporate boards and a world-renowned speaker, Schroeder is known for her practical and entertaining take on financial markets, board governance and, of course, Buffett.
“We are extremely pleased to bring Ms. Schroeder to Nashville for the 2013 Board Walk of Fame and to share this opportunity with the local business community,” said Susan Huggins, executive director of CABLE. “The event combines thought leadership from one of the world's top investing minds with high-level networking among Tennessee business leaders, including Board Walk of Fame honorees.”
The Board Walk of Fame is open to the public and is presented by CABLE’s Women on Corporate Boards, Women Corporate Directors, Lipscomb University and Avenue Bank.
