Founder of Comeback America Initiative to speak at Flagler Forum

March 22, 2013

David Walker, Founder and CEO of the Comeback America Initiative and former U.S. Comptroller General will speak at Flagler College on March 26 as part of the Flagler College Forum on Government and Public Policy series.

Prior to assuming his current position, he served as the first President and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. Walker served as the seventh Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office for almost ten years from 1998-2008. This was one of Dave’s three presidential appointments each by different Presidents during his 15 years of total federal service.

The Comeback America Initiative is an organization focused on promoting fiscal responsibility and sustainability by engaging the public and assisting key policymakers on a non-partisan basis in order to achieve solutions to America’s fiscal imbalances.

For more than 30 years, the Flagler College Forum on Government and Public Policy has invited nationally recognized journalists and commentators to St. Augustine to discuss issues of importance in regional, state and federal government.

All forums take place at Lewis Auditorium at Flagler College, 14 Granada St., at 7 p.m. Forums are free and open to the public thanks to the generosity of speakers who donate their time in support of the series. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign language interpreters are provided. Call (904) 819-6400 for more information.
