Former Governors Share the Stage for HIMSS21 Keynote Fireside Chat

Former Governors Chris Christie (R-NJ) and Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) will share the stage for a HIMSS21 keynote fireside chat, with bold discussion around the pandemic, health policy development, infrastructure revitalization and other pressing issues facing America.

Two Parties, One Stage: A Bold Fireside Chat with Political Leaders will take place from 8:30-10:15 a.m. PT Friday, Aug. 13, in the Venetian Palazzo Ballroom.

As the summer heats up on health policy and public health preparedness, attendees will gain valuable insights and unique perspectives from both sides of the aisle..

Christie was the 55th governor of New Jersey in 2010. He was re-elected with 60 percent of the vote in November 2013 and served two terms as governor. He left office in January of 2018.

McAuliffe was elected the 72nd governor of Virginia in 2013 to a term-limited single term. As governor, McAuliffe focused on equality for all Virginians — enhancing quality of life and building a new diversified economy that made economic opportunity a right, not a privilege. He’s seeking another term as his party’s candidate in November 2021.
