NBPRS-Detroit Hosts Conversation with CNN Political Analyst Jamal Simmons

 

DETROIT - The National Black Public Relations Society of Detroit in partnership with The Cass Technical Alumni Association hosts, “Nine Days and Counting...The Future of Government and Voter Expectations,” featuring Jamal Simmons founder of New Future Communications LLC and political analyst for CNN. Detroit’s own Charles Pugh, media professional from WJLB-FM and WJBK-TV FOX 2, will lead the conversation.

 

A familiar face to viewers during the entire 2008 election season, Simmons was integral into dissecting the strategy behind the historic Obama campaign. Jamal will address the looming issues casting shadows on the new administration. “We are very pleased to be partnering with the Cass Tech Alumni Association to welcome Jamal back home,” said Kevin Bynoe, president of NBPRS Detroit. “With two major conflicts abroad, an economic crisis in Detroit and a global economic slowdown, we look forward to a lively discussion on where the new president will actually lead our nation.” Simmons will take a look forward to the first 100 days of an Obama presidency and how communications tools were used to maintain record voter participation and engagement.
