David Wilkins will speak about his work as United States Ambassador to Canada during a dinner hosted by the Lexington Medical Center Foundation on March 4.
When President George W. Bush appointed Wilkins to serve as Canadian ambassador in 2005, the Southern Republican from Greenville was tasked with restoring the relationship between the United States and Canada.
Wilkins will recount many of his experiences -- from ice skating, petting polar bears and trouble learning French, to helping resolve high-profile trade disputes and visiting soldiers in Afghanistan.
Wilkins is a partner at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP and chairs the Public Policy and International Law practice group, which focuses primarily on representing businesses on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border and offers experience on a wide range of strategic bilateral issues.
The dinner will be held at the Embassy Suites at 200 Stoneridge Drive in Columbia at 6:30 p.m. Wilkins will begin speaking at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person. You can register online and find more information at www.lmcfoundation.com.
