WASHINGTON, DC – George Stephanopoulos, chief Washington correspondent for ABC News and anchor of ABC's Sunday morning program, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, will address several hundred broadcast representatives during the NAB State Leadership Conference on February 27.
The NAB State Leadership Conference, held February 27 - March 1 in Washington, DC, will gather hundreds of local radio and television broadcasters from across the nation to discuss legislative and regulatory issues important to broadcasting.
