Meet Our Presenters: It
is with tremendous gratitude that I welcome our conference presenters
and introduce them to you. I am inspired by their generosity and
enthusiasm for sharing their gifts and talents with today's youth!
Their involvement goes far beyond that which you will see - as behind
the scenes they have been instrumental in shaping the vision for the day
that has been created for you. As adults, we come together with a
commitment to offer up the best we have, knowing that you are our future
and that there is greatness within each of you. It has been my
privilege to participate with them in the unfolding of this event, and I
hope that the day will inspire you to connect with that greatness
within you.
