I especially enjoyed learning about the career mentoring program. Anil Lewis was the first national rep I ever Heard at my first state convention in 2010. I was captivated by his journey and his sense of humor. If you were there you will remember that there was a graduation party going on in the room next door. The music was quite loud and as Anil got up to the podium, he said “this is the first time I have ever had to compete with Lady Gaga!“<br>> <br>> <br>> Deborah J.
