Past Soberfest Speakers

Since 1990, we have had the privilege of hearing over 175 AA, Al-Anon, and Alateen Speakers share their Experience, Strength and Hope with us. Here is a listing of these men, women and young people. They come from all parts of the US as well as from Canada. They are business people as well as blue-collar workers. They have diverse backgrounds but are united by a common problem. They, along with all of us who attend these Conferences, celebrate their sobriety and serenity.

AA = Alcoholics Anonymous
AFG = Al-Anon Family Groups
ALT = Alateen
