REBECCA GUILLORY GILMER, Moderator
One of the strongest features of Synergy conferences takes place when Rebecca, Vice President of The Impact Movement, moderates a lively open forum or a Q&A with a plenary speaker. Anything can happen! But you can count on being respected, challenged, and stimulated by deep discussion and vital collaboration within the Synergy community. |
