2024 Keynote Luncheon Speaker
John Walsh
Anti-crime activist John Walsh is the longtime host and a producer of America’s Most Wanted, the nation’s #1 crime-fighting show that has helped law enforcement capture more than 1,100 dangerous fugitives and brought home more than 50 missing children. As a passionate victims’ advocate, Walsh was the leading lobbying force behind the passage of the Missing Children’s Act and co-founder of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. His dedication to this issue is rooted in tragedy – the 1981 abduction and murder of his six-year-old son. Walsh turned the pain of his son’s death into a lifelong mission to help make the world safer for children and their families.
