Plenary Speaker: Ashley Mucek, Executive Director of the Nelson Family Life Foundation. 

Ashley leads an organization dedicated to improving the lives of others by providing sustainable, clean, and safe drinking water to one million people in Africa. This mission closely aligns with Rotary International’s commitment to advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace through humanitarian service. Access to clean water is one of Rotary’s core areas of focus, and efforts like those of the Nelson Family Life Foundation exemplify Rotary’s vision of a healthier, more equitable world where communities have the resources they need to thrive.

Our most recent commitment to providing sustainable, clean and safe drinking water to 1 million people in Africa inspires our family as we make an impact on the world.  We strongly believe in working with partners to make a lasting impact on the people we serve.
