Susan J. Freed

Health Care Today
- Accurate Information
on a Moving Target
With the growing concern and frustration about recent
health care reform, there does not appear to be a lot of clear
cut answers to explain how this truly impacts companies.

health care in a manner that is understandable and easy to interpret. Susan J. Freed is a
Senior Shareholder at the Davis Brown Law Firm where she practices exclusively in the
areas of health law and employee benefits. Susan counsels employers on health benefits,
assisting them with regulatory compliance and plan drafting and implementation.

scheduled to be part of our festivites on
Tuesday night. As always, it will be full of
surprises and promises to be not only a
valuable fundraiser, but lots of fun!
General Session | Moments in History
Colonel Mark Tillman
Retired Pilot & Commander of Air Force One
3:30 p.m.
Chosen as the nation’s 12th Presidential pilot, Colonel (ret)
Mark W. Tillman served as pilot and commander of Air Force
One from 2001-2009. Col. Tillman was at the controls of Air
Force One through numerous national events. Most notably,
he protected the President on September 11, 2001 by keeping him out of harm’s way
and connecting the flying oval office to the nation’s first responders. Another historic
event was being the first pilot to fly the Commander-in-Chief into a war zone. The
challenge was unprecedented--transport the most targeted man in the world into the
heart of terrorism. One mistake would have left the President open to attack and cost
the lives of US service members. Col. Tillman personally orchestrated and executed the
covert operation with flawless success. His planning, done in complete secrecy, allowed
for a complete surprise to the entire world. Col. Tillman’s distinguished career spans
30 years in the United States Air Force. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross
in 2004 and promoted to Brigadier General by the President of the United States—the
first military line officer to receive this honor. A man devoted to serving his country,
this captivating storyteller will give you a first-hand account of remarkable moments in
history. Special Events
