The keynote speaker, John Evans, presented at QuickStart Shoreline last December; it was a fantastic presentation, he is not to be missed! Added to the rest of the presenters this is going to be a great event!
Also very excited for the resource fair during lunch where people with disabilities can connect with organizations and businesses in the community.
