Thank you Marco Island for making the inaugural event of the Marco Town Hall Speaker Series an outstanding success. Governor Jeb Bush and Guest Moderator Neal Boortz were fascinating and revealing as they discussed federal and state policies on February 25, 2011.

Jeb Bush elected the 43rd Governor of the State of Florida on November 3, 1998, was reelected by a wide margin in 2002. His second term as Governor ended in January 2007. Bush is currently the head of his own successful consulting business, Jeb Bush and Associates, where his clients range from small technology start-ups to well-known Fortune 500 companies. He is also the chairman of Foundation for Excellence in Education, a national foundation focused on education reform. Bush is the son of former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush. He lives in Miami with his wife Columba, and they have three children.

The Marco Town Hall Speaker Series was founded by Rick Borman, President of the Naples Town Hall Speaker Series, a 29-year presence in Naples. Marco Town Hall is a 501c3 non-profit charity.
