"Larry weaver provided a humorous, inspirational keynote at the 2024 HANDS Academy. Conference attendees are extremely hard-working home visitors, who have the very important job of supporting children and families in Kentucky. Larry’s presentation was not only insightful, but it provided a bit of comedic relief before participants attended various sessions with very heavy topics. Larry was very responsive about his availability, he gave us a preview of his presentation, let us know where we could find promotional material, and was very flexible when we needed to make small adjustments to our timeline. He also reached out to gather more information about his audience prior to the conference, which we believe added very valuable insight to his presentation. We highly recommend you book Larry for your event!"
