Roger Penske Chairman, CEO and President of Penske Corporation was invited to speak at The National Middle Market Summit 2011 on Friday, October 7th, 2011 at Fisher College of Business at  Ohio State University. The event was sponsored by GE Capitol and the Fisher College school of Business in attempt to outline and define a large segment of the economy that is a driver of future growth, like Penske Corporation. These companies are responsible for more than a third of America’s GDP and 41M jobs.
