KEYNOTE SPEAKER: HAROLD DENNIS Jr

We are pleased to welcome Harold Dennis Jr, as our Featured Guest Speaker. Harold is a motivational speaker and one of the survivors of our nation’s deadliest drinking and driving related crashes – the Carrollton Bus Crash in Carrollton KY, May 14, 1988 – which killed 27 people. Harold was 14 years old when the crash occurred. He graduated from North Hardin High School in 1992, where he was All-State in soccer and track. He was recruited to play soccer at the University of Louisville where he stayed for one year, before transferring to the University of Kentucky to pursue football. It was there that Harold received a full athletic scholarship (1994-1996) as a wide receiver on the University of Kentucky football team and earned his B.A. in Kinesiology. Harold holds a Master’s Degree and is a Board-Certified Physician Assistant.

As a result of both Harold’s personal and athletic success, he earned several national awards in college sports. These include the Arete Award for Courage in Sports (broadcast nationally on ESPN and presented to him by Ahmad Rashad and Evander Holyfield), the Gene Autrey Award for Courage in Sports, and the Johnny Unitas Award for Courage in Sports. Harold was selected to run the Olympic Torch for the 1996 Olympics and has been featured on television shows such as The Montel Williams Show, Sally Jesse Raphael, ESPN Cover Story, and CBS This Morning. His story has been covered in a number of major publications, including People Magazine and Sports Illustrated.

Harold has shared his story of beating the odds and overcoming adversity with many people and organizations over the years, encouraging people in personal triumph and perseverance. The lessons learned from Harold’s leadership roles and unique experiences reflect lessons learned in a multitude of areas relevant to achievement in today’s dynamic business environment.
