If you asked me to name some of the most impressive emerging leaders I have met in the last 2 years, I would tell you Ty Lewis is on that list.

We initially connected here on LinkedIn through mutual professional contacts, then as he traveled through my area, we would meet for coffee and as I learned his story, saw his intellect and determination, I knew he was someone exceptional.

Since that time, as we have met frequently and I have watched him engage our community (after relocating to my area). I recently invited him to speak on an emerging leaders panel at my companies annual conference in October 2024. The Converge Conference in Kankakee was an event that Ty attended last year (before he even moved to the area) and I knew I wanted to involve him as a speaker this year.

In addition, I invited Ty to speak to my Sales students at Olivet Nazarene University and his energy, passion, and encouragement to them was exceptional. He inspired them, and pushed them to do things NOW that will impact their future for years to come. I highly recommend Ty
