ā€œThere’s no leader better equipped to share their experience, unique strategy and wisdom, and we’re thrilled he’s chosen us for this limited and exclusive event,ā€ Growth Faculty chief executive Karen Beattie said.

President Obama’s leadership ushered in a stronger economy, a more equal society, and a nation more respected across the world during a time of great challenge and change, the company said.

Tickets for the events, on sale from Thursday, will start at $195.

People who can’t make the events in-person will be able to buy tickets to watch a livestream of Obama’s address online.
