We are pleased to announce the Second Annual Pontiac Mission Conference-a working conference to address community-wide challenges through innovation, collaboration, and social enterprise solutions featuring speakers, breakout discussions that facilitate a conversation surrounding key areas that impact the quality of life for Pontiac residents. Four breakout areas on the following broad topics: safety and blight, housing, education, and workforce development. Continental breakfast, lunch, and all-day refreshments provided.

About our Keynote Speaker: Father Gregory Boyle, author, speaker, priest, social entrepreneur, founder and Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. Profiled by CNN and other media, Homeboy Industries receives celebrity support from the likes of Martin Sheen, Jimmy Smits, and Hilary Swank, winning the Conrad Hilton Humanitarian Award in 2020.
