Presentations were given by such leaders as: Dean Sikes of the Spirit of America Foundation urging delegates to “Discover Your Destiny;” John Foppe, motivational speaker addressing “Life is an Attitude;” educator Pat Socia, encouraging sexual moral leadership; Melissa Bratton of the Tennessee Farm Bureau examining critical issues facing the environment and agriculture; Harding’s Andrew Baker spoke on “Social Media for Social Good” ; B.
