Event Description "The irony of me becoming an educator was evident as I reflected back on my early life and failures as a student. I learned that one caring teacher can make a difference in the life of any successful adult." - Dr. Dennis Griffin, founding President of CWI
Dr. Dennis Griffin will take us on a 20 year journey that finally led to the creation of the College of Western Idaho . . . local and affordable education.
His just released book, "FROM SCRATCH" - Inside the lightning launch of the College of Western Idaho will be the focus of his keynote presentation during the March chamber luncheon.
"Dennis Griffin has performed a valuable service for the Treasure Valley in telling the story of CWI's creation and serving as CWI's founding President. For those who believe in the right of the people to use local government and its power to tax to improve the lives of its citizens, From Scratch is a must read." Bob Kustra, President, Boise State University
