Inspiring Keynote Speaker
Retired Rear Admiral Len Hering 

On the Value of Collaboration
"Reviving the Lost Art of Collaboration"
Why it is so important for the strength and vibrancy of our Democracy and Society to revive the art of collaboration. Our Forefathers disagreed vehemently on how America was to be formed yet though collaboration they created the most amazing nation in history. 
How this tradition built a strong America & why it is so essential to the vitality of our local, national & global community today.​
His message is a gift!
