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! 
Retired Rear Admiral Len Hering,
former San Diego Navy Mayor, served after retiring from the Navy in 2009, as Vice President of Business Services and Administration for the University of San Diego and Executive Director of the Center for Sustainable Energy. Honored as a 2018 SD Business Journal San Diego 500 Influential Business Leader, and currently stepping up to lead "I Love a Clean San Diego", a legacy collaboration partner in the San Diego Region since 1954, Admiral Hering will inspire you to live a life of Collaboration! |
