Day 2 of the conference was nothing short of amazing! We kicked off the morning with an inspiring and emotional keynote from Ricardo Martinez, “How One Voice Can Change the World.” The first half of the day was filled with powerful moments, especially during “Imagine Listening,” where we heard heartfelt stories from Mississippi’s own telecommunicators.
We’re so grateful to our other incredible speakers — Tim Rutledge, Jeff Ledbetter, Haley Feather & Toby Sanford, Lauren Nash, Charlsie Little, Rebecca Kimbrough, Larry Cagle, and Jeremy Brown — for sharing their time and expertise.
And of course, a huge thank you to all our sponsors who make this event possible. We couldn’t do it without you! 💙

What you see here are stories that were written and submitted for the Imagine Listening session at the Mississippi 911 Coordinators conference. It was an honor to be one of your Keynote speakers, and to capture the stories you shared during Imagine Listening. We went on a roller coaster of emotions, and I can't thank you enough for what you do in our profession, but also for being there in support of each other. Take care and I hope to see you all again soon. Cheers!
