“Mr. Navarrette is a fresh and increasingly important voice in the national political debate,” according to a news release from the CFFA. “He offers new thinking on many of the major issues of the day, especially on thorny questions involving ethnicity and natural origin.”

John Manzella, an expert on global business, emerging risks and latest economic trends, will speak on “Economic Trends, International Trade and What’s Ahead,” according to the release.
