Carlos Ghosn, president and CEO of Nissan Motor Company, will be the keynote speaker at NADA’s 88th Annual Convention and Exposition, in New Orleans, January 29 – February 1, 2005. Joining Ghosn in the convention speaker lineup is Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan, wife of the late King Hussein, and Scott O’Grady, an Air Force fighter pilot who survived in war-torn Bosnia after his jet was shot down.

Ghosn will present his views on the state and future of his company, as well as its relations with dealers, at the convention’s Opening General Session on Saturday, January 29.

“Carlos Ghosn is the architect of one of the industry’s most remarkable turnarounds,” said Charley Smith, NADA chairman. Queen Noor is a leading voice for peace in the Middle East, and author of the autobiography entitled Leap of Faith. She will share her views on today’s global challenges at the General Session on Monday, January 31. U.S. fighter pilot O’Grady, the author of the New York Times bestseller, Return With Honor, will tell his harrowing tale of survival and rescue at the convention’s inspirational session, on Sunday, January 30.
