October 23, 2019 – Hot Springs Convention Center

You won’t want to miss our 2019 Fall Conference Breaking Boundaries: Educating Generation Alpha scheduled for Wednesday, October 23, 2019, at the Hot Springs Convention Center.

2019 Keynote Speaker: Rodney Walker

Rodney Walker is an author, educator and entrepreneur that travels both nationally and internationally, speaking at schools, corporations and conferences about the importance of character education, youth entrepreneurship, and trauma-informed mentorship aimed to uplift and support at-risk youth.

Rodney is the bestselling author of the educational memoir titled A New Day One: Trauma, Grace, and a Young Man’s Journey from Foster Care to Yale.

Given the obstacles placed before him as a foster child, Rodney struggled academically and socially in school. Through trauma-informed mentorship and education, he overcame these adverse experiences and redirected his path. Today, he is an award-winning entrepreneur and went on to graduate with degrees from Morehouse College, Yale and Harvard University.
