Senator George McGovern, Past Presidential Candidate, 2010 Nobel Prize nominee, and yes, MPMA's 2010 Keynote Speaker, jumped out of a plane this week.

We knew Senator McGovern would inspire us as a speaker; we just didn't know he would be able to take us to such heights. Come see for yourself when he speaks at MPMA's 2010 Conference in Rapid City this September.
Senator McGovern headlines MPMA's General Session on September 15, 2010. He will also appear in a session about politics.
Looking Ahead
At MPMA's conference, Senator George McGovern will
reflect on his public and personal life, including his life-long
fascination and appreciation for human history and the need to
preserve it.
As one of the most significant figures in America today and a
former presidential candidate, George McGovern has earned the
respect of countless individuals from all political viewpoints and all
walks of life.
A native of South Dakota, Senator McGovern was selected as the
Democratic Party nominee for president in 1972. He served in
the U.S. Senate from 1962 to 1980.
He was recently nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1978, President Jimmy Carter named him a United Nations delegate for the Special Session. He served as the president of the Middle East Policy Council when President Clinton appointed him ambassador to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. He was the first United Nations global ambassador on hunger. A prolific author, McGovern has also received many distinguished awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor bestowed upon him by President Bill Clinton.
