Our guest speaker, David Egan has always dreamed big. When he was eight, starting out as a Special Olympics swimmer, he dreamed of winning his races. As he grew, he looked to bigger goals-having a job and finding ways to change attitudes toward people with intellectual disabilities. David has been living his dream-and inspiring others to live theirs.
