A Conversation with Obama Foreign Policy Speechwriter Terry Szuplat

On September 26th, 2024, the Murrow Center will host a special conversation with Terry Szuplat, one of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy speechwriters in the White House. Szuplat will share stories of traveling with the president to more than 40 countries and lessons from his new book Say It Well: Find Your Voice, Speak Your Mind, Inspire Any Audience. This event is free and open to the public.

How do presidents and their speechwriters craft the address that tell America’s story to the world? How, as speakers ourselves, can we use these lessons and skills to speak up for change in our own country and communities? Audiences will learn this and more at the September event.
