Connie Hutchinson is the Director of Special Needs at the First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton, CA. She has spoken at conferences and colleges nationwide as an advocate for people with disabilities. Connie has traveled in Ghana, Romania, China and Morocco to educate parents, educators, church leaders and government officials on the value of all people- with or without disabilities. For ten years Connie directed a Royal Family Kids Camp for abused children in the foster care system ages 7-11, and currently directs a summer teen camp for teens in the foster care system. Connie and her husband, Mike, have been married for forty three years and live in Placentia, California. They have three grown children and six grandchildren.
