Keynote Speaker
Every NLC features an outstanding keynote speaker at the Opening General Session.  Here is a brief biography of this year's speaker.

Eric Chester

Eric Chester is the premier expert on Generation Why; in fact, he coined the term.  Since 1986, Eric Chester has been speaking to and working with Generation Why youth.  He has personally addressed more than two million teenagers and is dialed-in to the mindset of this burgeoning generation.  He frequently appears on national media (Good Morning America, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, Canada AM, etc.) to provide insight and perspective to concerned adults.

Tours
As with other NLC's our chapter plans to add several extra activities to attend.  We will look at many different options and schedule events as this conference gets closer.  A few of the premier tours include:

  • Six Flags Amusement Park
    Six Flags Elitch Gardens and the Island Kingdom Waterpark are full of world-class thrills and adventure - all at a Mile High!  This park features more than 45 rides, shows,  and attractions including the first of its kind flying coaster.

  • Colorado Rockies Baseball
    See the Colorado Rockies in action at Coors Field as they compete against the San Francisco Giants.  Seats will be located at the left field pavilion on the lower level based on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  • Denver City Tour
    Experience two sides of Denver - a  historic western town and thriving modern city.  See lovely residential areas, stop at two of Denver's over 200 parks, take pictures at the Denver Museum of Natural History, drive past the zoo, the Botanic Gardens, the Governor's residence, the sports complexes, and then up to the Colorado State Capitol.

  • Rocky Mountain National Park/Estes Park
    We head west toward the mountains, past the town of Golden, along Clear Creek stream, and through a scenic canyon.  Then it's on to the top of Berthoud Pass for our first view of our majestic Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 11,318 feet.  We descend in to the valley below and it's on to lunch in the quaint mountain town of Grand Lake and visit Rocky Mountain National Park.  The highest point on our drive will be on Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous automobile route in North America, at an elevation of 12,138 feet.  We return though Estes Park into the rugged North St. Vrain Canyon, and then on back to Denver.

  • Horseback Riding
    Are you ready to go for a fun, relaxing horseback ride in beautiful Colorado?  You will travel to a beautiful ranch in the Colorado Mountains where you will be met by professional staff at the stable area who will saddle you up for a two-hour ride.  After your ride, we will stop in town for lunch on your own.
