After welcoming remarks from Legacy co-founder Tom Vegh, the openingevening program began with a sneak preview of the upcoming Walden Mediamovie on the life of the British reformer, William Wilberforce. Legacy boardmember, Micheal Flaherty, co-founder and president of Walden Media gaveintroductory remarks.
Continuing with the British human rights and advocacy theme, no one could haveprepared us for the keynote address by Baroness Caroline Cox (former DeputySpeaker of the House of Lords). Her passion, candor and charm drew everyone into theworld of fighting for human rights, learning more about atrocities in our world and themobilization of compassionate help for the suffering. Then a surprise visit and addressfrom Purpose Driven Life author, Rick Warren, made the evening complete.
The following day was spent with a panel of experts in the compassion and social justicerealms, all relaying their own personal experiences on how they have seen change occur.The panel was moderated by Don Eberly (former Deputy Assistant to President GeorgeW. Bush and civil society advocate) who is widely regarded as one of the architects ofPresident Bush’s compassionate conservative agenda.At lunch between panel discussionsSenate Majority Leader Bill Frist addressed attendees.
We were privileged to hear from two sitting Governors - Mitt Romney (MA) andHaley Barbour (MS), and the Legacy Ladies shared High Tea with Susan Allen, wifeof Senator George Allen.
The closing “political” day highlighted several of our endorsed candidates for the 2006election cycle - Senator Rick Santorum, Senator Jim Talent, Congressman MarkKennedy, and Lt. Governor Michael Steele. Senator John Thune opened the daysharing insights from his own election experience, commenting on the support andencouragement he received from Legacy.
