MSPC announces blockbuster 2026 dinner plans, featuring Dana Perino

Mountain States Policy Center (MSPC), the region’s fastest-growing free market think tank, announced today that Dana Perino, co-anchor of America’s Newsroom on Fox News and former White House Press Secretary, will be the keynote speaker at its Spring Dinner in Boise on April 25, 2026.

The organization also announced that it is changing its dinner schedule starting next year - holding the annual Spring Dinner in Boise and Fall Dinner in Coeur d'Alene. Each will be held on a Saturday night.

Perino, one of the most respected voices in American media and politics, served as Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, becoming only the second woman ever to hold the position. Today, she is a bestselling author, a co-host of The Five on Fox News, and a trusted commentator on issues shaping the nation.

“Dana Perino is known for her thoughtfulness, her insight, and her commitment to civility in public life,” said Chris Cargill, President & CEO of Mountain States Policy Center. “We are honored to welcome her to Boise, and we know our guests will be inspired by her story and perspective.”

MSPC's Spring and Fall Dinners have quickly become one of the most anticipated public policy events in the region, bringing together leaders from business, government, and the community to celebrate ideas that expand opportunity and freedom.

This fall, MSPC is welcoming legal analyst Jonathan Turley at its dinner in Boise October 9th. Anyone who registers and attends the October 9th dinner will receive a discounted ticket to the Spring Dinner with Perino.

Sponsorship opportunities and table reservations for both dinners are available now HERE.
