Mike’s Speaking Abstracts
“What Legacy are you Leaving” — a hard-hitting and honest discussion from Mike Lutzenkirchen, executive director of the Lutzie 43 Foundation, in honor of his son Philip. Distracted, impaired and unsafe driving does not discriminate. We need to prioritize safety behind the wheel through collaboration of the public and private sector. The Lutzie 43 Foundation’s 43 Key Seconds Safe Driving Initiative is the ideal intersection of social good and corporate success – proving its possible for businesses to integrate and embrace societal concerns into their core operating strategies, benefitting their businesses, employees, employee families, customers and communities they serve.
