Keynote Speaker, Neal Sales-Griffin, President & CEO, Code Now Neal is one of the top young entrepreneurs in the nation. If you have not had a chance to hear Tech Entrepreneur Neal Sales-Griffin speak you’ll want to stop what you are doing and register for the Chávez Community & Student Leadership Luncheon now, while space is still available. Don’t take our word for it, listen to what MSU students, faculty, & staff had to say about Neal’s behind the scenes visit to MSU:
· “Neal was one of the best speakers I have ever heard in my life!”
· “His dedication to make his dream come true was something that inspired me. Very few people leave their good paying job to pursue something that is yet to be proven profitable or even exist.”
· “I was inspired to hear of how much he's been able to accomplish by the age of 29, and how many people he's managed to help along the way. His passion for helping others is refreshing, and in an era of hatred and fear, it's good to see examples of people who genuinely care and look to help others.”
· “Neal is incredible. All that he's managed to accomplish to help improve people's lives and the fact that he cited community empowerment as his motive is all very impressive and inspiring. He genuinely cares about others, and he approaches community issues in a very positive way - he identifies gaps and comes up with solutions.”
· “His story was very inspiring and motivational.”
· “Neal's history and motivation to serve the community inspired me.”
· “Neal was a great speaker. His story connected with us, given our dreams and ambitions; to ultimately know that anything is attainable.”
· “Seeing what Neal has been able to do to help others helped me to keep pushing forward in hopes of being able to help out in the community (wherever that may be) one day.”
· “Simply amazing. Truly was grateful for everything and the opportunity from hear from him. I think everyone was able to relate with what he said and I really enjoyed his time with us.”
· “He was very inspiring and relatable. Being that he was younger he had a unique perspective that really made me feel like I can peruse that field and be successful at it. I also was blown away by his work ethic.”
