The meetin’
ain’t over ‘til the
tall lady speaks!
Wish we could take credit for that line, but we can’t. We took it
straight from our Super Session presenter’s Web site. Best of all — it’s
true!
Jeanne Robertson is one of America’s most sought-after
speakers today. Or maybe we should say one of America’s most “looked up
to” speakers. Because everybody does look up to her!
A former Miss North Carolina and Miss Congeniality winner at the Miss America pageant, Jeanne takes life experiences and turns them into some of the most hilarious observations you’ll ever hear. But there is a message there. In fact, enough of a message that her home state named her its 2001 North Carolinian of the Year. And CBS correspondent Morley Safer interviewed Robertson for a segment of 60 Minutes.
Robertson is scheduled to speak at the
opening session on the afternoon of Feb. 7 in Milwaukee. It is a session
not to be missed.
But don’t take it from us. Here’s what the
Wall Street Journal had to say about Jeanne’s speaking prowess:
“Tired of snoozing through convention speeches? Maybe your
convention would rather hear Jeanne Robertson, a former Miss America
contender joke about the perils of being six-feet-two.”
“I’m
personally inviting every banker who has ever attended our BankTravel
Conference to come back this year to Milwaukee and join us for Jeanne’s
presentation — it’s that good!” said conference co-founder Charlie
Presley. “She is absolutely top drawer in our book!”
