Keynote speaker is Patrice Kunesh, and featured speakers include Tracy Toulou, Andrew Adams III, Colette Routel, and Hon. Korey Wahwassuck.

I was going to be there as well, but I will be testifying before the Senate Committee Thursday and couldn’t find a way back to Minnesota. I will be there in spirit, however. This is a remarkable conference and group. We wish we had something like this in Michigan.
