Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Simon Sinek, a leading motivational speaker and author of, Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, has been confirmed as the keynote speaker for the Gala Dinner at the 2013 CHC Safety & Quality Summit.

The Gala dinner will take place on Tues., March 19, at the Westin Bayshore. With approximately 600 guests in attendance, the dinner is an excellent opportunity to network with fellow summit attendees as well as session speakers.

Simon Sinek is best known for his presentation at TED, a global set of conferences focused on idea sharing.
