“Simplicity with Excellence” is the theme of keynote speaker Tami Lambertson of Scottsbluff. She was born and raised in the Midwest and she and her husband, Tyson, have been married for 18 years and have three children, ages 15, 13, and 11. They serve as lead pastors of The Rock Church.

Balancing the demands of family, work, and community involvement have taught her a lot over the last decade and she has come to live by the motto: Simplicity with Excellence. Simple doesn’t have to mean cheap, or lacking thought or care. Keep things simple, but do it well.
