John Quiñones’ Keynote Address
A lifetime of “never taking no for an answer” took Quiñones from migrant farm work and poverty to more than 30 years at ABC News, the anchor desk at 20/20 and Primetime Live, and seven national Emmy awards for his reporting over the years. Along the way, he broke through barriers, won the highest accolades, and became a role model for many. As host and creator of “What Would You Do?”, the highly-rated, hidden camera ethical dilemma news show, Quiñones has literally become “the face of doing the right thing” to millions of fans.
