Sarah Palin will deliver the keynote address at the Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Assn.'s 34th Annual Convention & Trade Show, Nov. 8-10, 2010, in Phoenix.



STAFDA wrapped up its 33rd annual convention and trade show, which drew a crowd of more than 3,500, in Atlanta last week.



Palin will address STAFDA members during the group's General Session on Monday, Nov. 8, 2010. According to STAFDA officials, she will speak about her vision for energy independence, health care, fiscal responsibility, small government and national security.

"She encourages her audiences to look to the future, and challenges leaders to do more to support our military, rein in spending and shrink government while creating fiscally responsible health care that benefits all Americans," STAFDA said in a press release announcing the event.



Palin's appearance on the STAFDA stage will come one week after the November 2010 elections. And she is not the first major political figure to address STAFDA members. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell delivered the keynote address in 2005, and former U.S. Senator and 1996 Republican Presidential candidate Bob Dole addressed the crowd in 1999.
