Fire Chief Ron Hittle provided a list of speakers at the Christian leadership conference he attended in 2010 that got him into hot water with the city. He attended it in Livermore, but the event, which has been around for 15 years, that year attracted some 120,000 attendees.
Not all of those folks squeezed into the Livermore venue. Rather, it was simulcast in over 400 cities and 76 countries around the world, according to papers Hittle provided through his attorney.
The speakers were:
Global Leadership Founder Bill Hybels
A21 Campaign Founder Christine Caine
Super Bowl Coach and author Tony Dungy
Chinese Economist Dr. Peter Zhao Xiao
Author/Pastor Andy Stanley
CEO Gortex Products Terri Kelly
Business thinker, author, former White House speech writer Daniel Pink
CEO of Tom’s Shoes Blake Mycoskie
Author/Pastor Jeff Manion
Chairman CEO of General Electric Jack Welch
Author/Pastor TD Jakes
