F. W. de Klerk opening

The first keynote talk was given by the former President of South Africa, F. W. de Klerck. He oversaw the dismantling of Apartheid along with Nelson Mandela. Jointly, they won the Nobel Peace Prize.

His talk was about change. After hearing and thinking about what is required to dramatically and successfully change a country like South Africa it does provide some motivation to keep pushing forward with change locally, professionally, personally.

There was also a terrific video presentation by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. She will be giving a keynote address next year.
