In 1980, Brinker lost her sister, Susan Komen, to breast cancer. In the last moments of her sister’s life, Brinker pledged that she would fight tirelessly against eradicating breast cancer for good.

Posted by WWSG Staff on Feb 19, 2015 3:02:00 PM

Allen West - During a time where political parties have never been more polarizing, Allen West is proof that race does not determine political affiliation. Born in 1961 in Georgia, West is a Republican and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He served in the US military from 1983 to 2004, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. During his tenure in the military, he received several awards including the Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal. West speaks for his strong conservative values as well as a firm education. He is considered a star member of the Tea Party Caucus, where he has repeatedly fought the notion that the movement was motivated by racism, and instead believed it appealed to the conservative values he was raised to honor. His views and affiliation have shown the Grand Old Party can appeal to members of any race and background, and consistently works to prove it, inspiring many others to join the fray.

Posted by Jody Raines on Apr 4, 2012 11:41:00 AM

Posted by Jody Raines on Feb 29, 2012 2:36:00 PM

Women leaders come in many shapes and sizes and when hiring a woman speaker for a keynote presentation, the hope is that the message is inspiring and motivating.  Few women speakers have the background or depth of life experiences to turn a negative into a positive as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a relentless champion of free speech, defender of women’s rights and outspoken controversial public figure.  She has been the target of death threats, victimized publicly, and yet she is a voice that won’t be silenced.
