Conference Highlight: Keynote Speaker Brian Fowlie

At the age of 14, Brian Fowlie made a decision that would forever change him. What he chose to do next would change the lives of countless others as well. Fowlie, a troubled youth with a future looking rather grim, not only turned his life around, but dedicated himself to helping others do the same. His passion for helping some of California’s neediest and often most forgotten population – runaway and homeless youth – led him on a journey that would impact the lives of hundreds of teens in immeasurable ways. Through his donation drives, the workshops he facilitates, and his remarkable ability to connect with yout heading down dangerous paths, Fowlie continues to inspire all of those he meets by rekindling one’s belief in their ability to change and make a positive difference in their lives.

We are so excited to have Mr. Fowlie join us as the opening keynote speaker on Sunday April 15.
