Featured
George Leis
Chairman, YMCA of the USA, and President, CalPrivate Bank
George was the first person to believe in this conference and in the student building it. He put in the first $1,000, which is what made the first event possible at all.
He has never treated it as a donation and walked away. Every time Jaxton is in town they meet, without exception, and he was there at his high school graduation.
