2023 National Conference Keynote Speaker
ASBPE is please to announce that Nick Chiles, author and writer in residence for journalism at the University of Georgia, will be our keynote speaker at the 2023 National Conference in Atlanta. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear how this Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and in-demand author is helping to shape the future of our profession.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to feature Mr. Chiles as our keynote speaker this year,” says ASBPE President Cory Sekine-Pettite. “Once I heard about his new book, ‘In the Blink of an Eye: An Autobiography of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf,’ and read about his extensive reporting and writing experience, I knew that he could provide our members with keen insights on how to get the best out of our interviewees as well as teach us to improve upon organizing and writing processes. Plus, I can only imagine the great number of interesting stories he can share from his newspaper days and from his work in both fiction and nonfiction books.”
