KSHE Update

It’s been six days since our 2019 Healthcare Coalition Conference in Louisville ended. What an awesome, exciting, and exhausting conference. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Our keynote speaker, former Utah Jazz star Mr. Thurl Bailey, set the tone for the conference with his “I See Potential in You” leadership training. Thurl stayed around after his presentation until every hand was shaken, every photo was taken, and every question was answered. What a gentleman! ESPN has honored Thurl and his 1983 NC State Championship team with one of their "30 for 30" specials. Take a look when you have a chance.
