“I think I’m going to run for office, like tomorrow.” – Review of Keynote Speaker Dominic Frongillo

“One of the best presentations I’ve seen”

In a time of great anxiety, Dominic Frongillo presented a hopeful message, telling how they can take part in the political process and how their participation can make a difference. It was empowering to hear his first-hand experience of how young people are engaged in government.

Dominic’s keynote was the single best talk on climate change and sustainability I’ve ever heard. Incredibly powerful, informative, and impactful. He gave me hope that I can make a difference as a young person. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the event. I’d love to have Dominic back at Appalachian State every year!

People remarked that your keynote address was the highlight of their experience at the Student Summit!

Dominic is a real-life super hero! Dominic is a powerful speaker and did an amazing job, promoting hope and action as a solution. The personal stories Dominic told, and his emotional connection to the issues and people resonated with our service-oriented student body. His message is that public service can truly help save the world.

Absolutely amazing. Definitely my favorite session at the AASHE conference. I learned so much and I can’t wait to learn more and want to get more involved.  He was really inspiring.

Dominic’s keynote helped us empower environmental leaders by showing that everyone can make a difference. Students couldn’t believe he was able to do so much at such a young age!

 

- Andrew Mackenzie, President, Renewable Energy Initiative, Appalachian State

I was deeply inspired by Dominic Frongillo’s presentation to take action within my community and spread the word about the most important issue of our time. I learned that you don’t always have to take global action to spark change, it can begin on a local level as well. I will always remember to be willing to risk, to go out of my comfort zone and take a stance in what I believe in.

- Bridget Thompson, University of Texas at Austin

A 10 out of 10! Dominc’s keynote was well-informed and uplifting. He is is easy to work with, smart, and a great communicator.

- Heather Segale, Education & Outreach Director, UC Davis

I was inspired and left thinking “why don’t I run for office?” I know too many people who think they are not good enough, but your story is the message people need to hear to be inspired to run.

- Konrad Schlarbaum, Sustainability Coordinator, Pikes Peak

Dominic’s AASHE keynote was incredibly inspiring. When I heard about his LED light bulb distribution, I applied for and received funding to lead a similar effort at Ohio State. I never would have had the courage to apply for the grant if I hadn’t seen Dominic’s speech.

- Sarah Fischer, Sustainability Outreach Coordinator, City of Cincinnati

Loved it. It was both informative and passionate. Exactly what I was looking for. Having inspiring talks is great, but what’s more important is the action that needs to follow.

- Michael Wendel, Chair of English, Stiftung Landheim

Incredibly empowering and motivating. I learned the importance of not selling myself short on what I can achieve. He’s a big picture seer and will teach you how to think big, set solid goals and take your work for the world to a whole new level.

- Alec Williams, J.D. Candidate, Georgetown University

Dominic Frongillo’s keynote was extremely engaging – the best of our speaker series to date. Students stayed for more than two hours afterwards asking challenging questions and debating critical points. Truly the mark of a great speaker.

Every year we host 200 university and school students for our Adirondack Youth Climate Summit. Dominic Frongillo’s keynote is consistently cited as the ‘best’ presentation – for 3 years in a row. We highly recommend him and have invited him again!

Dominic is a passionate speaker! Our students felt empowered and are now more aware of their ability to play a role in activism.

Inspired me to not be fearful of igniting change. Dominic Frongillo’s story made us realize it is possible to begin a career in public service at a young age. The statement “you can either be a politician or a part of the movement” will always stick with me!

Very powerful. Everyone that I talked to loved it! I have been implementing these strategies into my daily life and have noticeable positive feedback from asserting myself.
