GENERAL
SESSION
Wednesday, April 2, 5:00-6:30 p.m.
Henry Winkler, CEC’s 2008 Keynote Speaker!
Many of you may remember him as “The Fonz” from the
“Happy Days” television show; however, Henry is an
accomplished author who has written a series of children’s novels
with his co-author, Lin Oliver. The series, entitled “Hank Zipzer:
The World’s Most Amazing Under-Achiever,” was inspired by
the personal challenges Winkler experienced due to his learning
challenges. Henry is also a committed advocate for children as evidenced
by his work with organizations such as Epilepsy Foundation of America,
Toys for Tots, Special Olympics, and the National Committee for Arts for
the Disabled.
