Being a public speaker and youth mentor, Larry has inspired, assisted, and empowered many including new insurance professionals and youth.  Mr. Bell shares the art of spoken word poetry at local events.  Larry has a true passion for creativity, information, as well as transformation in communities far and near.  This passion is reflected in his work and outreach efforts.  Mr. Bell stated, “I am pleased and honored to be invited to share my words of inspiration at the Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting & Banquet.” The Chamber is still accepting sponsorships, ticket reservations, award nominations, catering bids and auction items for this year’s annual meeting and banquet so don’t miss out!  We can’t wait to see everyone one there and welcome Mr. Bell to Hope!
