​

9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Opening inspirational message from Garry Clark – President and CEO of Partner Tulsa and author of “Unlikely Viking.”

​

There’s a solution to hunger. Farmers and ranchers are the heart of that solution and everyone who eats. But first, let’s listen to someone who was truly hungry. A man who has a Food Stamp forever framed on his office wall. Let’s listen to someone who was also hungry to live life fully and who had to literally run for his life to earn the life he dreamed of living. Yes, the universe called, and Garry Clark answered. 

 

Garry’s childhood was spread across more than 13 homes all over Washington, D.C. as his parents battled demons of addiction and poverty. Capitalizing on his God-given ability to run, Garry sought out a grain of hope in rural America when he attended Dana College in Blair, Neb. where he holds 11 track records. Garry's story is one of hope, of overcoming incredible circumstances, and of taking risks to find unexpected opportunities.
