General Session & Keynote Address
Endeavour to Succeed
By: Captain Mark Kelly
On January 8, 2011, Captain Mark Kelly would
face the toughest challenge of his life when an
assassination attempt was made on his wife,
former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. His
dedication to family and Giffords’s road to re-
covery would captivate the nation. For Mark
Kelly, focus equals success-even in the face of
adversity. Personifying the best of the Ameri-
can spirit, Kelly is a homegrown hero who was a
combat pilot in Iraq, an astronaut on four space
shuttle missions, and commander of the final
flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour. He has com-
bined teamwork, leadership, communication,
and family in an unwavering commitment to
succeed. Kelly shows audiences how to accom-
plish their mission while maintaining the love
and devotion to family that is the foundation of
true success.
Note: The First and Second General Session
will begin promptly at 11:15 am with luncheon
service followed by keynote program speakers.
Attendees are requested to be on time and to
