Liz Gilbert, president of the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee for the Democratic National Convention, will be the featured speaker at a Newsmaker Luncheon, hosted jointly by the Milwaukee Press Club and WisPolitics.com on Wednesday, November 13.
Gilbert oversees the day-to-day operations of the nonprofit civic committee tasked with organizing, hosting, and funding the convention, which is set for July 13-16, 2020. She most recently served as executive director of the New Jersey Democratic
State Committee, and, prior to that, ran a historic, multi-day, statewide inauguration for Governor Phil Murphy. A seasoned convention expert, Gilbert also led the team that raised $80 million for the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Gilbert will take questions from a panel of journalists and from the audience at the luncheon, set for 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Newsroom Pub, 137 E. Wells St.
