Lori L Hayes is the go-to for all things student leadership and teacher retention. 

Energy. Energy. Energy. Lori has the ability to energize audiences with her real, relevant and relational programming. Her comedic delivery engages audiences while simultaneously challenging them to transform. 
Lori has been on the front lines in the education sector for over 25 years. Her education experience includes serving as the Student Activities Coordinator for the West Virginia University Center for Black Culture and Research and most recently as the Student Activities Coordinator for the historical Howard High School. During her time at Howard she had the honor of teaching English and served as the advisor of many, many clubs.
Having a front row seat as the wife of a high school administrator provides a rare vantage point of the inter-workings of a school setting. Rounding out her educational perspective is the role of being a parent of three sons.
