This year's keynote speaker is Vietnam vet Levoyd Williams, his military accolades include a Bronze Star, and beyond the war, he’s dedicated his life to public service, having been involved in mentoring with the Boys and Girls Club, advising Junior Achievement, and supporting church-based educational programs, as the city specifies in its advisory.
