“Anyone looking for a speaker to engage and inspire an audience should be looking for Orv! He has the ability to walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a group of new friends. His keynote address was authentically and unapologetically him, yet it resonated personally with just about everyone in the room. Orv spoke from the heart and connected to the heart of the work that we do with a deep understanding that was unexpected and uplifting.”
