President Vicente Fox to speak
August 9th, 2007 by Jim Garrettson
It is a rare honor, to have a former head of state like President Vicente Fox as an upcoming speaker at the Potomac Officers Club on October 11th. Fox served as President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006 in a historically significant election. Fox’s unlikely defeat of the dominant IRP (Institutional Revolutionary Party) brought new promise to the county of Mexico. Educated at Harvard’s School of Business and a former president of Coca-Cola of Mexico, Fox brought a keen business sense to his presidency. Register for Vicente Fox. This event is expected to sell out early. This event is made possible by our sponsors Ernst & Young and Hogan & Hartson. He changed out Mexico’s cabinet using American style of head-hunters, grew registered taxpayers by 35% and maintained a check on inflation which was 11% upon taking office and 4.1% upon his exit. Fox was well known for his successful election slogan of “Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!” (Today Today Today) against opponents he claimed wanted to put things off to “Mañana” (Tomorrow).
