District 22 Annual Conference 2024

CREATING TOMORROW'S LEADERS TODAY

The theme for the conference is "100 years of Leadership". There will be many educational sessions by members of the district, and a special keynote presentations.

Keynote Speaker: Scott Rigsby
Scott Rigsby, a resilient individual, overcame a life-altering truck accident at the age of 18, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and the loss of both legs. Despite enduring 12 years of limb salvage, he transformed his challenges into triumphs. Now, Scott is a world-class athlete, author, motivational speaker, and founder of the Scott Rigsby Foundation. This local nonprofit pairs wounded veterans and active-duty military with civilian participants for the Ironman 70.3 Augusta event. Scott, a double-amputee, made history in 2007 by completing the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon on prosthetics.

Recognized as Physically Challenged Athlete of the Year, he received accolades such as the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame "Stars of the Year” Award and World Vision’s Advocate for Children with Disabilities. Scott's philanthropy extends globally, featured in national media and campaigns for brands like Holiday Inn and Brawny. His journey, highlighted in the "Unbroken" film and other platforms, inspires others to face adversity, cross their finish line, and create a resilient legacy.
