A lineup of internationally renowned speakers, authors, CEOs, visionaries and luminaries will highlight Westmont’s eighth annual LEAD Where You Stand Conference, May 31-June 2 at the college’s Global Leadership Center.

The event attracts powerhouse speakers and participants who share inspiring and leadership principles and best practices for any sphere or line of work and service.

This year, David Brooks, New York Times columnist and bestselling author, headlines a diverse group of speakers, including Dr. Charity Dean, a public health executive; Marcus “Goodie” Goodloe, a Martin Luther King Jr. scholar; Malcom Guite, a poet and priest; and Erin Meyer, author and expert in cross-cultural communication.

Other speakers include Westmont President Gayle D. Beebe; Steve Bell, musician and author; Westmont Provost Kim Battle-Walters Denu; Jeff Schloss, T.B. Walker professor of natural and behavioral sciences at Westmont, and director of the Center for Faith, Ethics and Life Sciences; and Westmont alumnus Jon Walker, chief technology officer and founder of AppFolio.
