Sponsors & Speakers
We would like to take some time to thank our sponsors and speakers. Without them, this would only be a dream.
All of our sponsors and speakers, whether donating time, money, or gifts, realize the potential and power of the YES! Seminar, and what it can provide for both the children and parents. The ability of one person to make a difference in the lives of many is nowhere more profound than in our sponsors and speakers list. An event such as the YES! Seminar is simply not possible without the support of many, many caring and dedicated individuals who, in turn, may see very little in monetary return.
But that is not why these individuals have made available their resources. Entrepreneurs, by their nature, want others to succeed! By making this event possible, they know that they may change the life of one, or ten, young entrepreneurs, who in turn, may make that next discovery that provides a cleaner energy source, a safer means of travel, or just a better cup of coffee. It makes life better for us all.
Please take the time to review both our Sponsors and Speakers lists, and if you find yourself in a position to support them one day, please do.
