“Gathering together for the first time after the pandemic, we knew we needed a special speaker for our annual luncheon. Having Margaret Hoelzer as our keynote was exactly the memorable speaker we hoped to have. So many times we hear the statistics as it relates to sexual abuse but we forget the small faces that belong to them. Margaret gave us not only a face but a voice to so many who are never heard. We are so grateful for the impact of Margaret’s speech at our annual luncheon.”

“She’s incredible, just an absolute inspiration, she sees that she has a platform and is using that for absolute selfless good. Personally, I can’t imagine telling the world something so personal and private.”

– Catherine Hereford, the development director for the NCAC
