Keynote: Dr. Irene Countryman-Roswurm

Dr. Roswurm is more than her degrees, professional titles, and accomplishments. She is a survivor, thriver, and overcomer. She is a wife, mother, sister-friend, dancer, gardener, chef, and roller-skating warrior queen. Like an eagle, she inspires and casts vision. Like a servant gardener, dependent upon the control of our Creator, she awakens and cultivates the autonomous leader in others. Like a navigating companion, she humbly offers resources as she walks alongside survivors she is honored to know. Like a lotus, despite pain and fear, she leans in and strives. And like a 5am alarm playing a rhythmic “fight song,” Dr. Roswurm mobilizes others to act with conscious courage in efforts to empower safety, opportunity, justice, and kaleidoscopic prosperity for all.
