Ron Buford is the director and architect of the United Church of Christ's (UCC) national God Is Still Speaking Campaign (www.stillspeaking.com), a campaign created to help identify a religious denomination as welcoming and inclusive with a particular focus on minority citizens. Buford is an open, proud and successful African-American man dedicated to the philosophy that injustice and discrimination, wherever it exists, has no place in a society that claims all people are created equal. He was recently honored as one of the “OUT 100,” which is OUT Magazine's recognition event in support of the nation's most influential persons. This presentation focuses solely on fairness, inclusion and opportunity for all people.
