We look forward to welcoming Mary Walsh, longtime CBS news producer with experience throughout Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and elsewhere, as our May 2016 Distinguished Speaker.
Mary Walsh is the national security producer for CBS News; her work includes producing stories for the CBS Evening News, CBS Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes.
