Carl Albert wasn’t the biggest person in the room. But he made the biggest impact. That’s why we come together. Not just to remember his story—but to write the next chapter.

This dinner isn’t about being seen. It’s about seeing each other—and recognizing what’s possible when we lead with heart, grit, and a commitment to more than ourselves.

Let’s gather. Let’s celebrate. Let’s build.
