Keynote Speaker
Katy Hutchison
On New Year’s Eve in 1997, Katy Hutchison’s husband, Bob McIntosh, was murdered, leaving Katy alone with four-year-old twins During the five years it took to prosecute the killers, Hutchison writes that she developed her "perception of the societal forces and lack of understanding amongst young people that created the circumstances leading to Bob’s death.”
Hutchison committed herself
to sharing Bob’s story as a way to educate youth and help them make
better choices.She eventually forgave her husband's killer and has even co-presented with him at restorative justice
conferences.
Hutchison speaks in schools and correctional facilities around
the world, advising and educating youth about the risks of combining young
people, alcohol, and a lack of supervision.
