October Business Luncheon 2024

Description

The Chamber's monthly business luncheon provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to showcase their businesses, promote products, and let others know how you can serve their business needs, all while enjoying a delicious lunch, prepared by a local caterer and a spectacular speaker!

Speaker: Bryan Dawson, the founder of 1819 News, began his career in media with USA Radio Networks where he repped big-name News/Talk hosts such as Steve Deace and Rusty Humphries and most importantly helped transform USA Radio's 5 minute Top of the Hour news product, designed solely for AM News/ Talk stations, into a shorter, well-produced newscast that appealed to FM music stations.

This new news offering was a hit and Bryan rapidly grew the news product's reach to several hundred stations. From there he went on to work with Lee Habeeb, the creator and co-founder of The Laura Ingraham Show, on Lee's newest radio project, 'Our American Stories. Bryan took the evening daily storytelling radio show from 80 stations when he arrived to over 330 stations and made a distribution deal with Premiere Networks and Heart Media possible before moving on to start 1819 News.

1819 News is raising the bar for journalism in Alabama.

Bryan lives in Wetumpka, AL with his beautiful wife and 7 children.
