Day 3 Closing Keynote:

Rick Steves Talks Business Advocacy for the Environment & Social Responsibility with ASBN Executive Director Camilla Taylor in “Navigating America: What 50 years of travel has taught me about business and democracy”

Join travel expert, author and successful businessman Rick Steves in conversation with ASBN Executive Director Camilla Taylor as they explore what five decades of travel have taught him about responsible business leadership and the importance of democracy. Steves will share why he believes "good business is good business" – prioritizing employee care, environmental stewardship, and long-term profitability over short-term gains. Discover how this mission-driven approach has guided his advocacy for democracy, social responsibility, and environmental protection, and why he believes business leaders must step up as community champions. Learn lessons from the road that can transform how you lead your organization and engage with the world around you.
