Anybody, Anytime, Everyday -- Heroic Moments Keynote speaker on Tuesday, Dec. 1 Joe Estey, founder and president of Prolepsis Training, sets the stage for the conference by delivering a keynote address that will inspire you to take action. "Someone once wisely observed that it is not the days of our lives that we remember, it's the moments." Mr. Estey will show how history has never rewarded nor fondly remembered those who left "well enough alone." Instead, history is filled with the stories of one person who, in spite of the almost superhuman effort, found a way to improve the circumstances, conditions and outcomes of those in need of help.

"Brian's Story" General Session speaker on Friday, Dec. 4 Motivations are more powerful when they are anchored in the depths of the human heart. In a moving and powerful presentation Jeff Bell shares the true story of an accident that took the life of his son Brian Bell. Brian was a college student with less than a week left on his junior-senior summer job when he was killed in a totally preventable accident. "Brian's Story" will open your eyes to what workplace safety is ultimately about. Jeff Bell emphasizes with a father's intensity, the value of getting involved in your company's safety efforts and the need to be willing to intervene with your co-workers. Jeff will inspire you to step up and make a difference in safety.

We look forward to seeing you in December!
