Welcome to the 2018 Building for Success conference! Our theme this year is RESILIENCE, which will come through loud and clear in William Kellibrew’s keynote address. Everywhere we turn, and even in our own lives, there are seemingly insurmountable challenges and traumatic experiences. Take a moment to think - what helps people overcome such difficulty? I bet you think of words like COMMUNITY and SUPPORT and FAMILY.
Now think about the children in your care, and the incredible opportunity you have to be a part of their story of resilience. We offer many workshops here today that are intended to help you build resilience in children. And we have many exhibitors who are resources for support for you and the families you serve in Prince George's County. Be sure to visit them!
We are grateful to have as our guests our own County Executive, Rushern L. Baker III, who understands how important quality child care is for families. Steven Hicks, Assistant Superintendent at Maryland State Department of Education, is a champion for children and the child care community. Most of all, we are grateful to all of YOU for the work you do every day, giving our youngest citizens a firm foundation for their future. Special thanks to Maryland Family Network, the Maryland State Department of Education, and PNC Bank for helping to make this conference possible.

William Kellibrew IV lives each day with his passion in his hand. He is a global advocate for human, civil, children and victims’ rights, focused on a values-driven approach to address trauma and violence. Kellibrew knows the impact that trauma and violence has on individuals and families all too well. On July 2, 1984, at age 10, Kellibrew witnessed the murders
of his mother, Jacqueline and 12-year-old-brother, Anthony, by his mom’s ex-boyfriend in their family living room in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The killer took his own life that day, but not before making William beg for his life at gunpoint. His pathway to hope, healing, rebuilding, recovery and resilience can be credited to the many mentors, professionals in the mental health system, teachers, friends, professors, supporters and family members who did not give up on him including his grandmother who raised him and his siblings following the murders. In 2011, the White House recognized Kellibrew as a ‘Champion of Change’. In 2013, he received the Voice Award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for his work across the country as a peer/consumer leader. In 2014, he accepted the Capitol Probe Award at the District of Columbia Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, and in 2015 he received the U.S. Congressional Victims’ Rights Caucus Eva Murillo Unsung Hero Award. Kellibrew’s resilience has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Newsweek, Washington Post and various news and media publications and outlets throughout the world.
