As the official opening the National Conference, the Opening Dinner holds a special place in the conference schedule. Delegates and guests will be invited to dine in the magnificent Ormond College Dining Hall, hear from our guest speakers and the NAAUC Team, and have the oppurtunity to network with their peers from across the country.

JACQUI BELL

Keynote Speaker

Imagine running almost 2,000 kilometres - mostly through gruelling desert terrain - all while your toenails keep falling off - 10 of them, to be precise...

For most, it sounds like a form of torture. Not so for ultramarathon runner Jacqui Bell, especially when you consider what she’s already been through.  Jacqui has a big story to tell and the way she delivers it is both relatable and inspirational.

Jacqui’s next endeavour was to be The Youngest Person in history to run not only an Ultra Marathon but a Multi-Stage Ultra Marathon on all 7 continents. Jacqui achieved that record in August 2019 with two final races in Iceland and the Grand Canyon.

Jacqui’s story is an inspirational journey which encourages others to take on challenges they think aren’t possible.
