On Jack Lenz at the 2009 Baha'i SED Conference: Musical director
Performing Arts Presentations at the 2009 Bahá'í Conference on Social & Economic Development – Jack Lenz (Canada) will again be lending his artistry and warm spirituality to the proceedings this year. Additional artists will be joining him to lift our spirits with music and song each evening of the Conference as well as Sunday morning.
This year's December SED Conference in Florida has Jack Lenz on board. He has assisted previously. See Child of Africa's blog post on the 2007 conference which cites his efforts. (One of her videos is posted below.) Jack Lenz is Baha'i and he is accomplished.-gw
