FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SARAH PALIN TO BE FEATURED AT
2010 NATIONAL QUARTET CONVENTION

LOUISVILLE, KY (August 31, 2010) – The National Quartet Convention Board of Directors is pleased to welcome former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin to be featured at the 2010 National Quartet Convention, set to take place September 12 through 18 in Louisville, KY.

Author, speaker and political commentator, Sarah Palin became only the second female and the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major party when Republican presidential candidate John McCain chose Palin as his running mate in the 2008 presidential election. Palin was also the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party.

In November, 2009 her autobiography, Going Rogue: An American Life was released and quickly became a best-seller. In January, 2010 Palin began providing political commentary to the Fox News Channel under a multi-year contract.

Governor Palin will serve as the keynote speaker during an hour-long event on Thursday, September 16, beginning at 2:00 pm in Louisville’s Freedom Hall, located on the grounds of the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center. Palin will speak for 30 minutes and then spend 30 minutes conducting a question and answer session with attendees. Admission to the session featuring Palin will be included with the Thursday Showcase ticket package offered by the National Quartet Convention.

“We are delighted to be able to present Governor Palin to our NQC attendees,” NQC Executive Vice President Clarke Beasley stated. “She is an inspiration to so many, and she is doing many conferences throughout the nation where she focuses on what her Christian faith and her family means to her. Those are the type of topics she will address at the NQC. We are thrilled to host her.”
