Meet Our 2024 Inspirational Guest Speakers
Ian Hockley, Dylan's Wings of Change
Ian Hockley and his wife Nicole founded Dylan's Wings of Change in 2013, a foundation dedicated to the memory of their son Dylan, who was murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre on December 14, 2012.

Jennie Johnson, Cokeville Miracle
Jennie Sorensen Johnson, a woman hailing from a small town in Wyoming, has a story of resilience, faith, and healing. Her journey began in the quiet streets of Cokeville, where the trauma she endured left an indelible mark on her soul. Jennie didn't remain trapped in the past. She channeled her pain into determination.
As she grew older, she discovered her love for numbers - balancing accounts and deciphering financial puzzles. Becoming a school business administrator and accountant allowed her to create order amidst chaos, much like piecing together the fragments of her own history.
By also surviving the Cokeville Miracle, serving on the Cokeville Miracle Foundation, and participating in the onset of T.C. Christensen's movie, The Cokeville Miracle, she learned to face her memories and acknowledge the little girl who had endured so much.
Through her work and her words, she hopes to inspire others to face their own shadows and to find faith and light in the darkest corners of memory.
