Hi everyone!

I’ve been to every SVP conference since the first one in Pittsburgh in 2001. You might think it was “old hat” to me by now, but every time I go I meet new people, reconnect with others I know, and the mix each year makes it a new experience. It always energizes me.

It’s very cool to meet people from all over North America and Japan who have the same philanthropic and civic spirit. The conference is two of the most fun and educational days of my year. 

I'd love to see you in Dallas!
