Iain Calder - Keynote Speaker at the June 6th Boca Raton Executive Club Meeting

Join The Boca Raton Executive Club on June 6th in welcoming Woodfield resident and former Editor-in-Chief & President of The National Enquirer, Iain Calder as the keynote speaker. During Calder's 36 years with The National Enquirer, circulation soared from approximately 700,000 per week to a peak of almost 5 million - changing the face of American journalism! The meeting will take place in the Grande Ballroom at Woodfield Country Club and starts at 12:00 noon.

Iain Calder was born in Scotland and joined the National Enquirer in 1964 as London Bureau Chief. After almost 36 years with the company, during which he served as Editor in Chief, President and later CEO/Chairman, he left in 2000. During this time he saw circulation soar from about 700,000 per week to a peak of almost 5 million. Magazines edited by Calder have sold a total of over 4 billion copies - probably an American record.

He has lectured all over North America including Universities ranging from UC Berkeley to FAU. At the invitation of Nancy Reagan he also spoke at the Reagan Library. In the mid-nineties, he was chosen by the NEWSEUM in D.C. as one of the 500 most influential journalists in the history of the U.S. His autobiography, published in 2004, outlines how the ENQUIRER broke hundreds of major exclusive stories and photos - and how he rubbed shoulders with hundreds of the most famous celebrities from Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump, Bob Hope and Billy Graham to John Kennedy jr., Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Jerry Lewis and Dolly Parton. He has been interviewed on every TV network by the likes of Mike Wallace, Katie Couric, Ted Koppel and Geraldo Rivera and featured in just about every major American magazine and newspaper.
