Keynote Speaker
Jodie Sweetin is best known for her eight-year run as Stephanie Tanner, the precocious middle child, on the hit ABC television show Full House. Airing from September 1987 until May 1995, Full House was a show that families loved to watch together and continues to be a favorite in syndication and on cable to this day.

After Full House, Sweetin joined the Orange County High School of the Arts, and participated in musical theatre productions. She enjoyed the students in the program, and being in a creative atmosphere was a comfortable place to be during her high school years. After high school, Sweetin attended Chapman University in Orange, California, earning a Liberal Arts degree in May 2004.

During her high school and college years of "experimentation,” Sweetin discovered alcohol and drugs, substances she now realizes that she cannot handle. For years she fought her addictions, causing serious destruction to her life. After losing her two-year marriage and experiencing tremendous personal loss, she entered drug and alcohol rehab in March of 2005. Since then, she has been working diligently to put her life back on track “one day at a time.” She is committed to helping others avoid the choices that cost her so much, and to encouraging addicts and alcoholics to get the help they need.
