Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to Speak at NABP's 100th Annual Meeting

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) welcomes former New York City Mayor Rudolf Giuliani to its 100th Annual Meeting and Centennial Celebration, held April 24-27, 2004, at The Fairmont Chicago in Chicago, IL. Giuliani will share some of his experiences as mayor of New York City and his recent involvement in the illegal importation issue on Monday, April 26, from 12:30 to 1 pm, during the Third Business Session of the Association's Annual Meeting.

Giuliani served two terms as mayor from 1993 to 2001. Immediately following his second term in office, he founded Giuliani Partners, a professional services firm offering emergency preparedness, public safety, leadership during crises, and financial management. Drawing on his experience in turning a city described as "ungovernable" into a city that is now a worldwide example of good government and effective management, Giuliani was recognized in Spring 2002 as "Consultant of the Year" by Consulting magazine.

While mayor of New York City, Giuliani focused on quality of life, crime, business, and education. Giuliani is best known for returning accountability to city government, a policy that brought crime down by 57% and reduced murder by 65%; for the past five years New York City has been recognized as the safest large city in America by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Before his election as mayor of New York, Giuliani worked his way up from associate deputy attorney general in Washington, DC, to United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He graduated with honors, magna cum laude, from the New York University School of Law in Manhattan.
