STILLWATER, Okla. - Bestselling author and New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman headlines the roster of exciting speakers for the 2008-2009 Executive Management Briefings series. The Executive Management Briefings feature international business and political leaders, authors and policymakers who bring critical and timely information to the Oklahoma business community.
