Powell to Deliver CTAM Program's Dan Aaron Lecture

The CTAM Educational Foundation said Tuesday (May 19) that National Cable & Telecommunications Association president Michael Powell has been tapped to deliver the Dan Aaaron Lecture on innovative management during its Cable Executive Management program at Harvard Business School.

CTAM also said David Zagin, president of distribution for A+E Networks, has joined the foundation's board.

The Harvard program will take place June 7-12 in Boston. Also on tap for the event is a talk by MoffettNathanson media analyst Craig Moffett.

Before running the NCTA, Powell was FCC chairman. The annual CTAM lecture was founded by Comcast in honor of the company's late co-founder, who died in 2003.
