Claritycon2016 luncheon speaker to be Dallas County DA Susan Hawk
We are pleased to announce the luncheon speaker for Claritycon2016 will be Dallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk. In 2015, after seeking treatment for severe depression, Hawk returned to face an attempt to remove her from office. Her experience was recently covered by the Washington Post.
Hawk's talk, Coming Out of the Darkness - A High Achiever's Lifetime Struggle with Mental Illness, is one you won't want to miss.
Claritycon2016 is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, June 16 and 17, at the Norris Conference Center, on Loop 410 near Blanco Road.
Please save the dates and watch for upcoming announcements on keynote speakers!
