Our Keynote Speaker was phenomenal: Dr. Andrise Bass delivered on: “Peace, Democracy, and Service do not survive on their own. They survive when ordinary people make extraordinary choices to protect them”.
“The meeting was incredible!… Great comments on volunteerism, civic engagement, equity, and wellness.” MM
Comments on Dr. Andrise Bass : … “compassion is the most powerful policy on earth” and “volunteerism is the strongest form of civic power.” I enjoyed her perspective on democracy and am glad she is another powerhouse for both international and local collaboration.

“I am glad to have learned more about Clinton and Doris and their contributions to the world, Haiti and the Haitian community in the US. “MM
Dr. Yvan Ducheine Focused on Sickle Cell Disease in our community.
“Your insights and reflections on civic responsibility and democracy through the lense of Sickle Cell Disease truly resonated with our audience and helped elevate the spirit and purpose of the event.
