Atlas is thrilled to announce that Former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox will serve as keynote speaker at the 2009 Liberty Forum‘s Sir Antony Fisher Memorial Awards Dinner on Friday, April 24th.
Fox served as President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006. The first candidate from the opposition party to be elected president since 1920, he garnered 42 percent of the vote, marking the first time the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party had lost a presidential election. Under his leadership, Mexico experienced a stretch of fundamental economic strength and stability. Since leaving office, Fox has been involved in the development of Centro Fox, a center for the advancement of democracy that encourages a sense of commitment and solidarity among the Mexican population.
In addition to Fox, Atlas will feature former President of Bolivia, Jorge Quiroga, as keynote speaker for the Liberty Forum Luncheon on Saturday, April 25th.
