Elizabeth will be presenting the leadership keynote lecture scheduled for 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 13, 2016. During this presentation, Elizabeth will recount her journey to Cameroon and Good Shepherd SLF's decision in building what she hopes will be the premier secondary and high school in Cameroon. Her project and affinity for Cameroon falls in line with our theme for this congress - Building Foundations for Success - The Roadmap for Cameroonian Professionals. We all agree that success in later life starts with the right education, hence the reason for presenting initiatives that seek to fortify the educational foundations for our brothers and sisters back home.

In accepting to share her experience with the Cameroonian Diaspora, Elizabeth joins an elite club of the most accomplished Professionals (Cameroonian and Friends of Cameroon) who see the need to use the CPS Congress as a platform to inspire a new generation of Cameroonian and African leaders.

Join us in welcoming Canon Elizabeth Geitz to the CPS Congress.
