Our special guest will be Pat Butler, President and CEO of the Association of Public Television Stations. Before assuming the leadership of APTS in January, 2011, Mr. Butler enjoyed a distinguished career in both public service and the private sector. He served as special assistant to Senate Majority Leader Howard H. Baker, Jr. and consultant to the White House Chief of Staff during Baker’s service with President Reagan. President Reagan appointed him to the National Council on Humanities, where he chaired the public programs committee for the National Endowment for the Humanities and recommended funding for Ken Burns’ PBS series The Civil War. He held leadership roles at RCA and Bristol-Meyers, founded his own consulting firm and served for twenty years at The Washington Post Company, where he was senior-vice-president and supervised the production of a PBS retrospective about Watergate, which won the 2003 Emmy Award for Best Documentary. A Chattanooga native, Mr. Butler majored in Political Science at the University of Tennessee and obtained an MA in Communication (with distinction) from American University. A Joan Shorenstein Fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, he also studied Finance and Accounting at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. He was a guest lecturer on the First Amendment in the 21st Century at the 75th anniversary commemoration of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs.
