The educational portion of the conference opened with the keynote address from Ms. Donna Liewer, executive director of the FCLB. Liewer spoke about branding regulation and public perception of our purpose.

The following day, Dr. Guy Riekeman, president of Life University, delivered the 22nd Annual Joseph Janse Lecture, speaking about the underlying qualities of effective leadership.
