2024 Keynote Speakers

Check out the information for this year's keynote speakers below:

Enid Borden, CEO of the National Foundation to End Senior Hunger

Session Date and Title: Monday, May 6, The Two Faces of Aging

Recognized in the book “Everyday Heroes: 50 Americans Changing the World One Nonprofit at a Time,” and recently honored by ADvancing States with the 2019 Arthur Fleming Award, Enid Borden is an astonishing woman, an inspiring leader, and the preeminent authority on senior hunger in America.

For over three decades, Borden has relentlessly led the effort to raise public awareness about and then find solutions to the growing problem of senior hunger in America and abroad. She coined the term the “hidden hungry,” bringing the issue of senior hunger into the national dialogue. Under Borden’s leadership NFESH commissioned the first comprehensive, national study on food insecurity among seniors and continues to release groundbreaking research on the causes, consequences and future of senior hunger in America. Highlighting the problem of senior hunger has set the stage for Borden to achieve her life’s mission – formulating creative and innovative solutions and then forging partnerships to ensure those solutions become reality. Borden has been invited to give lectures and consult in both Canada and Europe on the issue and solutions to ending senior hunger.

Andy Nguyen, Chief of Staff for Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare

Session Date and Title: Monday, May 6, Overcoming Hunger and Oppression

Andy Nguyen is a servant, a leader, an entrepreneur, and a family man. His life story is proof that the American dream is alive and attainable by all Americans.

Born in the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), Andy Nguyen faced a childhood of poverty, hunger, and oppression after the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. When he was just 14 years old, his family risked everything to escape Communist persecution and flee to America in 1981.

Despite the challenge of learning a new language and culture, Andy worked hard and thrived, finishing high school with his peers. While working as a restaurant dishwasher and waiter, he attended college, joined the Kentucky National Guard, completed training in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), and was commissioned a Field Artillery Officer in the United States Army Reserve.

Andy graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Business Management. He completed the Army Officer Basic Course in Oklahoma and moved to Texas in 1992. He began work in the telecommunications field and soon started his own multi-million-dollar telecom company. Blessed with success, he then put his energies into inspiring other immigrants to embrace the American dream.

Andy’s long record of service to his community includes leadership in multiple businesses and community-based organizations. In 2010, he was elected to the Tarrant County Commissioners Court, becoming the first Asian American to serve as Commissioner in Tarrant County. During his tenure as Precinct 2, Tarrant County Commissioner, Andy was widely recognized for his leading role in and contribution to transportation, healthcare, mental health, information technology, and effective governance.

From 2019-2021, Andy served the Texas Sixth Congressional District as Congressman Ron Wright’s District Director and Deputy Chief of Staff.

A speaker, teacher and facilitator on the subjects of life, liberty and leadership, he has been recognized for his service to his community as the recipient of the Tarrant County Asian American Chamber of Commerce Leadership Award, the Arlington Martin Luther King Celebration “Advancing The Dream” Award, and the 2018 Public Elected Official of the Year Award from the North Central Texas Fort Worth Area Branch of the National Association of Social Workers.

Andy currently serves as Chief of Staff for Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare. Andy and his wife, Julie, live in the Arlington area with their three children, where they are parishioners at St. Joseph Vietnamese Catholic Church and Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church.

Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America

Session Date and Title: Wednesday, May 8, Ending Hunger Lifts Us All

Joel Berg is a nationally recognized leader and media spokesman in the fields of domestic hunger, food security, obesity, poverty, food-related economic development, national service, and volunteerism. He is CEO of Hunger Free America, a nationwide advocacy and direct service organization working to enact the programs and policies necessary to eliminate food insecurity in the U.S. He is also the author of All You Can Eat: How Hungry Is America? , the definitive and most well-reviewed book on American hunger of the last decade. Seven Stories Press just published his second book, America We Need to Talk: a Self Help Book for the Nation, which Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison called important and entertaining.

Joel currently leads Hunger Free America, formerly the New York City Coalition Against Hunger. Joining the organization in 2001, Joel has grown the nonprofit into a multi-million-dollar, respected national champion for Americans struggling to obtain nutritious food. Operating on the philosophy, “Ending hunger lifts us all,” Joel and his team advocate for systemic change across the country, seeking higher wages, more living wage jobs, and a stronger nutrition safety net.
