We are pleased to present our Fall Roundtable and two inspirational speakers!
Amy Downs: Hope is a Verb
Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in which a total of 168 people were killed including 18 of her 33 co-workers. While buried alive and waiting to die, she realized she had never really lived. Once freed from the rubble, Amy launched a self-improvement campaign.
Amy shares with the audience how to apply what she learned on her journey from a 355 lb. teller who dropped out of college to obtaining her Masters in Business Administration, becoming the CEO, and completing an Ironman Triathlon. This call to action keynote will leave the audience inspired, ignited with hope, and with new ideas on how they can achieve their goals.
"Amy Downs has a compelling, unforgettable story to tell, and she delivers it with humor, humility and gravitas. She is an inspiration as both a credit union professional and a courageous human being!“
~ Caroline Willard, Cornerstone Credit Union League President/CEO
