Former CNN Headline News anchor, correspondent, author, and two-time cancer survivor Bob Losure continues to be in demand in 2012 as spokesman, emcee, and facilitator for companies including Delta Airlines, Mercedes-Benz, RadioShack, BellSouth, OfficeMax, the IT Asset Management Association, and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. In 2011 as well as 2010, he served in three roles at the IT Asset Management National Conventions in Las Vegas and Nashville, introducing speakers, keynoting, and doing on-camera interviews with top members of the association.

In recent years, top companies have used his on-stage skills to interview top newsmakers including Walter Cronkite, Donald Trump, G-E Chairman Jeffrey Immelt, Delta C-E-O Richard Anderson, and Cancer Treatment Centers of America Chairman Dick Stephenson. In September, 2010, Bob traveled to Atlanta and Delta Airlines headquarters to moderate a televised 90-minute Q & A session featuring top Delta Airlines executives and over 200 Delta flight attendants. The five-camera webcast, viewed by Delta employees in Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York, and L.A., was in preparation for a union vote by 20,000 Delta flight attendants worldwide.
Over the last three years, Bob has introduced speakers and held question-and-answer sessions for conventions including KioskCom at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Pasadena, CA., and Edison Electric Institute in Toronto and Wash. DC.

His courageous story has been told to cancer groups nationwide, including M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and Provena St. Joseph’s Medical Center in suburban Chicago.
During his career in Atlanta at CNN, Bob filed live reports from the scene of the Loma Prieta earthquake in San Francisco, Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega’s capture and return to Miami, the Avianca Airliner crash in New York, and Nelson Mandela’s historic visit to Atlanta.
