Ben Carson to speak to SD Federation of Republican Women Convention

As the hosts of the 2020 SDFRW bi-annual convention, Minnehaha-Lincoln Republican Women are proud to announce that Dr. Ben Carson has accepted our call to be the keynote speaker in Sioux Falls at the Convention Center on September 26, 2020.  Dr. Ben Carson is a former neurosurgeon and a published author of 10 books and is well known as a Presidential candidate in the 2016 Republican primaries.

Dr. Carson is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Michigan Medical School.  He was the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1984 until his retirement in 2013.  As a pioneer in neurosurgery, Carson’s achievements include performing the only successful separation of conjoined twins, joined at the back of the head; performing the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb; performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins; developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors; and revitalizing techniques for controlling seizures.  He became the youngest Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery in the country at age 33.  Dr. Carson has received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees, dozens of national merit citations and written over 100 neurosurgical publications.  In 2001, he was named by CNN and TIME magazine as one of the nation’s 20 foremost physicians and scientists, and was selected by the Library of Congress as one of 89 “Living Legends” on its 200th anniversary. In 2008, he was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.

Both SDFRW and MLRW thank Megan Assman for her tenacious efforts in bringing him to Sioux Falls!  She worked on Dr. Carson’s presidential campaign in 2015 and 2016.

  1. Very cool but I have to chuckle at the fact that the announcement makes zero mention that he is a member of Trump’s Cabinet as the current Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

    1. He is not coming in the official capacity of HUD Secretary. No mention of HUD allowed by the White House.

    1. You can!! The link to purchase is in the article!

      But Grudz must identify himself!! Just kidding…

  4. To hear this man whose accomplishments will be remembered in 2120, I’m willing to identify as a woman for a day. Where do I buy a ticket?

    1. This part of the event is open to the general public! Sign yourself up via the link in the article! Sure to be a great time!

  6. I’d love to see/hear Dr. Carson but in COVID times, this Republican is disappointed that the convention continues in live time. Even the football season is cancelled in the top universities. Irresponsible!!!

    1. The “top universities” for football have not cancelled their fb seasons – LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, etc.

    2. There are many precautions/guidelines in place by the Convention Center that will ebb and flow with the current situation at that time. We will be following those and the CC can set up tables of varying sizes so that families or couples can sit together separately.

  7. Glad to see that we’re holding live events; it’s time to stop cowering.

    It is painful to watch the Twins play to a stadium filled with cardboard cutouts. I cannot fathom that in a stadium that can set 45,000 people they can’t work out a system whereby they can put 15,000 fans in the seats.
