Opening General Session -As a young boy, Nelson Lauver fell through the cracks of an educational system that was ill-prepared to deal with a student who couldn’t learn like the rest. Socially promoted, he graduated from high school and received a diploma he struggled to read. He knew he was different...he just didn’t know why.

After nearly a dozen more years struggling as a functionally illiterate young adult, an amazing chance encounter and the utterance of one word – dyslexia – changed Nelson’s life. He finally learned to read and write and set on a journey that few would have imagined. Today Nelson is an acclaimed author, journalist, nationally syndicated broadcaster, and educational rights advocate. A natural communicator and humorist, Nelson is a highly regarded speaker who shares his own story as a way of helping others realize their maximum potential.

As the host and creator of The American Storyteller Radio Journal from 2001 to 2010, Nelson offered radio listeners across the country a daily 4-minute slice of the American experience. 2011 marked the release of his award-winning memoir, “Most UnLikely to Succeed.”

Conference attendance can help fulfill your in-service professional development requirements. FLC will be

distributing certificates for continuing education hours to individuals who pre-register for this service.

This option is on the registration form.
