He said the conference provided invaluable learning and networking opportunities.

“I think it is great,” Tucker told Ib’s Blog in an interview.

“It’s so diverse and it was great being at the prayer breakfast this morning and this session [“The Faith Leaders Roundtable”] discussing about what’s going on in the churches.

“So it’s a great learning opportunity.”

There were lots of sessions, town hall meetings as well as an exhibit but Tucker found something he would cling on to for a long time.

Asked what he’s taking with him from the conference, Tucker said: “Knowledge. It’s been so informative out here and meeting great people like Congresswoman [Sheila Jackson] Lee is great. So I’m taking that.”
