KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Bill NyeBill Nye, scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, is a man with a mission: to help foster a scientifically literate society, to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes our world work. Making science entertaining and accessible is something Bill has been doing most of his life. Bills fascination with how things work led him to Cornell University and a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He also holds two Honorary Doctorate degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Goucher College. After graduation, he headed for Seattle and work as an engineer at Boeing. It was in Seattle that Bill began to combine his love of science with his flair for comedy, when he won the Steve Martin look-alike contest and developed dual careers as an engineer by day and a stand-up comic by night. Eventually, he quit his engineering day job and made the transition to a mid-morning to late-at-night job as a comedy writer and performer on Seattles home-grown ensemble comedy show Almost Live. This is where Bill Nye the Science Guy was born. The show appeared before Saturday Night Live and later on Comedy Central, originating at KINGTV, Seattles NBC affiliate. With fellow KING-TV alumni Jim McKenna and Erren Gottlieb, Bill made a number of award winning shows, including the show he became so well known for, Bill Nye the Science Guy. The Science Guy show ran on weekends at first and then later on PBS five nights a week and in syndication on weekends. In some markets, you could see the Science Guy seven days a week. While working on the Science Guy show, Bill won seven national Emmy Awards for writing, performing, and producing. The show won 28 Emmys in five years. Bill Nye is the host of two currently-running television series. The 100 Greatest Discoveries airs on the Science Channel. The Eyes of Nye airs on PBS stations across the country.

Bill Haslam, Governor of TennesseeBorn and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Bill was blessed with parents who instilled their strong faith and work ethic in their children. As a young man, Bill excelled in academics and sports and was a leader in student government. Bill entered Emory University in 1976, and on the first day of class, met Crissy, a young woman from Memphis who would later become his wife. While attending college in Atlanta, Bill was a volunteer leader for Young Life, a Christian ministry that reaches out to adolescents. During the summers, Bill volunteered for the grassroots political campaigns of Howard Baker and Lamar Alexander and gained a deep understanding of the type of principled leadership needed to govern. After graduating with a degree in History, Bill and Crissy married and moved to Knoxville, where Bill had agreed, at his fathers urging, to work for a couple of years managing his familys small chain of gas stations. In the early years, Bill spent long days driving all over the country identifying, negotiating and purchasing good locations for new truck-stops. When he first went to work for the company, Pilot Corporation had 800 employees; and when he left had more than 14,000 employees in 39 states. Throughout his time at Pilot, Bill sustained the companys growth by allocating resources wisely, managing the business conservatively, working hard to increase sales and satisfy customers. It was here that Bill gained the essential hands-on knowledge that makes the chief executive officer of a complicated enterprise successful. In 2003, Bill ran successfully for Mayor of Knoxville. The skills he honed in the private sector have helped make him an extremely effective Mayor. On November 2, 2010, Bill was elected with 65 percent of the vote winning 90 of 95 counties and securing the largest victory of any non-incumbent gubernatorial candidate in our states history. Having celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary earlier this year, Bill and his wife Crissy have also been blessed with three children and a daughter-in-law: Annie, Leigh and Will (Hannah).
