Keynote Address – Kerry Chlarson & Steve Mikita
The Joy of Tenacity: Two Inspired Paths to Social Justice

Kerry Lee Chlarson was a commissioned officer in the
United States Marine Corps, serving at Camp LeJeune when he
was involved in a serious automobile accident in which he was
severely burned. He spent the next seven months in the hospital
at the Military Burn Center before being transferred to the Veterans
Hospital in Salt Lake City. The next several years were spent
undergoing many surgeries and years of occupational and physical
therapy. Once he was able, Kerry decided to attend the University
of Utah College Of Law, earning his J.D. in 1991. He has worked
for a small law firm, practiced on his own, and worked as the managing attorney for
the Disability Law Center. Kerry is currently employed as an administrative law judge
for the Utah Labor Commission, handling wage claims.

J. Stephen Mikita has been a Utah Assistant Attorney
General for 29 years. He represents the three largest State Agencies
in Utah providing services and protections for individuals with
disabilities, as well as vulnerable adults.
Mr. Mikita was the first wheelchair freshman in the history of
Duke University, where he graduated magna cum laude and
the first student in a wheelchair ever to be admitted at Brigham
Young University’s Law School.
Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a progressive nerve disorder, that has ravaged his
body for 55 years, Mikita’s indomitable spirit and plainspoken wisdom have touched
millions of Americans. He is a popular motivational speaker throughout the country.
