We are excited to announce that our keynote speaker will be Jamie Valvano!<\/p>\n

As the middle daughter of legendary basketball coach Jim Valvano, Jamie has witnessed amazing victories and heartbreaking tragedies. Jamie worked for The V Foundation for Cancer Research in its formative years and helped establish the organization that has awarded over 400 million dollars to fund cancer research. Although much of her father\u2019s story has been made public, Jamie candidly shares how his legacy impacted her survival.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether Jamie works with corporate clients, raises for charity, or addresses an audience at a TEDx event, she encourages individuals to persevere and move toward their extraordinary lives. She is honored to work with The Washington Speakers Bureau and serve on the Duke Cancer Institute\u2019s Board of Advisors.<\/p>\n
