	Sonny Melendrez is a broadcaster, motivational speaker, author, and media consultant who has dedicated his life to making people happy. Sonny was recently inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame, is included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as one of the “Top 100 Radio Personalities of All Time,” and received a Grammy nomination for a children’s version of “We Are the World” in 1985.
	Dan Hughes serves as General Manager of the San Antonio Silver Stars. In this role, he oversees the Silver Stars’ basketball staff, the teams, roster development and all player acquisitions. Hughes is one of only two persons in WNBA history to be named Coach of the Year twice--most recently in 2007. He is also the only coach to take three different WNBA franchises to the playoffs, and in 2008 took the San Antonio Silver Stars to the team’s first WNBA Finals appearance.
	Donald Braswell overcame catastrophic injuries to his vocal chords that threatened to end his singing career to place in the Top 5 out of more than 300,000 contestants in the 2008 season of America’s Got Talent. Since his success on the show, the tenor has been catapulted into a performing arts career that is taking him on a new journey performing for audiences everywhere. Braswell says, “It is God’s job to know when the end is, and He will surely let us know when that time comes. Until then, we are not serving Him, anyone or ourselves if we give up. Keep going, no matter what the odds.”
	Ron Graves became a professional motivational speaker after successful careers in the insurance industry and as an enlisted soldier and officer in the US Army Reserves. His 34 years of leadership experience in sales, training and recruiting taught him that too many people give up in the face of adversity. But, those who can maintain a positive attitude can achieve extraordinary things.
