AIAC at the Renaissance Weekend
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Charleston, SC January 1, 2024 - American Industrial Acquisition Corporation Chairman L. M. Levie joined leaders from the worlds of technology, finance, media, philanthropy, theology, the arts, government and academia at the 2023 Renaissance Weekend in Charleston, South Carolina. Founded in 1980 by Ambassador Phil and his wife, Rev. Linda LeSourd Lader, the four day, bi-partisan event is a celebration of civil discourse and debate concerning the pressing social, political, economic, ethical, and scientific issues of the day.
The Renaissance Weekend offered hundreds of seminars, panel discussions, and other events. Members were treated to a New Year’s Eve black tie gala dinner dance, preceded by a hilarious choral performance of song parodies, composed and sung by Renaissance Weekend members.
L. M. Levie commented, “Once again, Phil and Linda Lader have achieved the impossible: attracting in one harmonious forum the greatest minds and leaders of our generation. The result is a joy to behold: a constructive, courteous, and respectful, bi-partisan exchange of diverse ideas to materially improve our nation and our world.”
