The Future is Now
Bill Halamandaris
Monday, 14 Oct 2002 at 7:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Bill Halamandaris, President of The Heart of America®, started spreading his message in 1985 after 15 years of public service at the U.S. Senate as Counsel and Staff Director of a Congressional Committee charged with seeking solutions to the ills of society. "I did a 180 degree turn," Halamandaris says, "and began looking for what was good as opposed to what was bad, what was right as opposed to what was wrong, what works as opposed to what has failed." Since 1985, Halamandaris has co-founded five national non-profit organizations and published four books, including his most recent work, Be the Light: A Blueprint For A Happy and Successful Life.
