Speaker(s)

The morning keynote speaker is Greg Olsen who was the third private citizen to orbit the earth on the International Space Station (ISS). After training for five months (900 hours) at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Moscow, he launched on a Russian Soyuz rocket TMA-7 on October 1, 2005 with Cosmonaut Valeri Tokarev and Astronaut Bill McArthur (Expedition 12). He then docked to the ISS on October 3, and returned to earth on Soyuz TMA-6 on October 11 with Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and Astronaut John Phillips (Expedition 11). He performed more than 150 orbits of the earth and logged almost 4 million miles of weightless travel during his 10 days in space. After an illustrious career as a research scientist and entrepreneur, Greg is now president of GHO Ventures in Princeton, NJ where he manages his “angel” investments, South African winery, Montana ranch, and performs numerous speaking engagements to encourage children – especially minorities and females- to consider careers in science and engineering. He is active in the New Jersey Technology Counsel (NJTC), NJTC Venture Fund, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the NJ Commission on Science and Technology. Greg is a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University and also currently serves on the FDU Board of Trustees.

The luncheon keynote speaker is Barlow Mann, Esq. with The Sharpe Group formerly known as the Robert F. Sharpe Company that is located in Memphis, Tennessee. Barlow serves as the chief operating officer there and has been with the company almost since inception and was personally recruited by Robert F. Sharpe Sr. to join him. Barlow is a nationally known speaker and a well respected resource within the planned giving community. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with him over the years and can count on him as a professional colleague. Barlow has over 25 years of experience in the field of planned gift development. He consults with leading nonprofit organizations and designs their planned giving programs, trains fundraising professionals at Sharpe seminars around the country, and speaks at nationally recognized gift planning gatherings. Barlow is a graduate of Tulane University and The University of Memphis School of Law. He was director of development at the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences prior to joining the company.
