Taking Care of the Care Givers

Keynote Speakers:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Harry Reid is someone that has earned the respect of colleagues from both parties, and a powerful advocate for Nevada families.  Every day Senator Reid puts his leadership position to work to deliver meaningful results for all Nevadans. But he still lives in Searchlight, and he is still guided by the lessons and values he learned there. The Las Vegas Sun newspaper summarized Senator Reid’s story by saying that he “has gone from underdog to Senate’s top dog.” Since Nevadans first elected him to the Senate in 1986, Harry Reid has developed a reputation as a consensus builder and a skillful legislator.  His Republican colleagues have praised his reasoned, balanced approach. Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican from Utah, has said, “We all respect Senator Reid.  He is one of the moderate voices around here who tries to get things to work.”
