This mother of four will speak at this year's event, following in the footsteps of past keynote speakers such as Patty Duke, Marie Osmond and Molly Ringwald. Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe will also be present as she discusses "Breaking the Mold" at the breakfast program.
Heaton will share her insights on marriage, motherhood, and raising four sons, and how she’s able to balance all that with her career. Her uplifting and humorous glimpses into her personal and professional life will inspire Tapestry guests to make the most out of every day.
Other events at Tapestry include a breakfast program, followed by 13 breakout sessions attendees can choose from ranging from dancing lessons to financial planning and everything in-between, as well as shopping at the many booths lining the perimeter of the Coliseum’s Expo Center.
