Opening Session Keynote Speaker
Thursday, January 14th – 8:00 AM
Joe Gibbs
A successful organization starts with its people.
This has long been the philosophy of Joe Gibbs. It helped carry him to three Super Bowl championships and the
NFL Hall of Fame as head coach of the NFL’s Washington Redskins and has been a defining principle behind building
Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) into one of NASCAR’s most successful race teams.
It is not surprising that JGR has experienced amazing success and growth since Gibbs founded the
operation in 1991. It began its first season of racing in 1992 with just 18 crew members and JGR
now employs close to 450 people. Despite the immense growth, the company remains defined by the
same characteristics of its founder and owner, Joe Gibbs: Integrity, a relentless work ethic,
determination, perseverance and team building.
Those characteristics have been the driving force behind JGR’s success which includes 145
overall wins in NASCAR, three NASCAR Cup Series championships (2000, 2002, and 2005) and the
organization’s first NASCAR Nationwide Series owners’ championship in 2008.
Of course he built and refined those characteristics in football and with the Washington Redskins where he made four
Super Bowl appearances, winning three (Super Bowl XVII, Super Bowl XXII and Super Bowl XXVI).
In addition to his working daily with J.D. at JGR and Coy at JGRMX, as well as completing the Game Plan For Life in 2009,
Gibbs also remains committed to Youth For Tomorrow, a home he founded in Bristow, VA that is now licensed to
house up to 106 troubled boys and girls ages 11-18.
He and his wife Pat, currently reside near JGR’s Huntersville, NC headquarters and enjoy spending time with their eight grandchildren.

Opening Session Keynote Speaker
Thursday, January 14th – 9:15 AM
William Craig Fugate
W. Craig Fugate began serving in the position of Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in May 2009.
Prior to coming to FEMA, Mr. Fugate served as Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). In that role since 2001, he managed 138 full-time staff and a budget of $745 million. His agency coordinated disaster response, recovery, preparedness and mitigation efforts with each of the state's 67 counties and local governments.
Mr. Fugate began his emergency management career as a volunteer firefighter, Emergency Paramedic, and finally as a Lieutenant with the Alachua County Fire Rescue. Eventually, he moved from exclusive fire rescue operations to serving as the Emergency Manager for Alachua County in Gainesville, Florida. He spent a decade in that role until May 1997 when he was appointed Bureau Chief for Preparedness and Response for FDEM.
Within FDEM, Mr. Fugate's role as Chief of the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) kept him busy during 1998. That year, the SERT team was active for more than 200 days as a result of numerous floods, tornadoes, wildfires, and Hurricane Georges.
In September 2003, again under Mr. Fugate's stewardship, the Florida Emergency Management Program became the first statewide emergency management program in the nation to receive full accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP).
During his years at FDEM, Mr. Fugate served as the State Coordinating Officer in Florida for 11 Presidentially-declared disasters and the management of $4.5 billion in federal disaster assistance.
In 2004, Mr. Fugate managed the largest federal disaster response in Florida history as four major hurricanes impacted the state in quick succession (Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne). In 2005, Florida was again impacted by major disasters when three more hurricanes made landfall in the state (Dennis, Katrina and Wilma). The impact from Hurricane Katrina was felt more strongly in the Gulf Coast states to the west but under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact or EMAC, Florida launched the largest mutual aid response in its history in support of those states.
Mr. Fugate and his wife Sheree hail from Gainesville, Florida.
