Wayne Elsey
Wayne has worked in the footwear industry since he was 15. He started by helping out on the floor and stockroom of a retailer and worked his way up to serve as President and CEOs of several footwear companies in the United States. Still, Wayne felt his life's potential was not being fully realized. He wanted to help people with more than providing a great product.
Elsey came to work with Soles4Souls full-time in April 2007. "This has been a whirlwind for all of us," Elsey said of the charity's growth. "We have given away more than 5 million pairs of shoes since we began this thing, and that translates to one pair every 13 seconds”.
Elsey and his team have appeared on hundreds of news outlets around the country as the word of the charity's work gets out to the public. "It's really NOT about us - we want to return the focus of all this media attention to the people who are reading the stories," Elsey said. "We want to inspire them; we want them to say 'Hey, wait a minute - I can do something like that with my own resources.' At the very least, they could send us the shoes that are cluttering up their closet, because we know there are about 300 million children alone who could really use them."

Revelations from an Evolutionary Life that Changed Everything
We have entered the period of Evolutionary Leadership. We are moving toward a world that has never existed before. We have held it in our visions, yearnings, and aspirations, but now we are called to cocreate it. It is the time of rising passion to express, to give our gifts, to become a greater participant in the unfolding of evolution, both self and social. I will focus on key experiences that are both personal and generic that can help awaken our evolutionary callings, guidance and emergence as co-creative humans.

Dr. Michael Beckwith's life is a living testament to building spiritual community. In the 1970's he began an inward journey into the teachings of East and West, and today teaches universal truth principles found in the New Thought-Ancient Wisdom tradition of spirituality. Gifted with a vision of a trans-denominational spiritual community, in 1986 he founded the Agape International Spiritual Center upon his faith in that original vision.
Recently described in “What Is Enlightenment?” magazine as a "non-aligned trans-religious progressive," Dr. Beckwith shares his powerful conviction of creating the Beloved Community through his participation on international panels with other peacemakers and spiritual leaders including Dr. T. Ariyarante of Sri Lanka, and Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi. He is co-founder of the Association for Global Thought, an organization dedicated to planetary healing and transformation.
Together, Drs. Michael Beckwith and Rickie Byars Beckwith have written lyrics and music performed by the Agape International Choir in concert venues worldwide. Always in demand, their performances inspire peace and goodwill in the global community.
