BSCAI announces Chris Gardner as the opening keynote speaker for the 2007 Annual Convention & Trade Show.

Chris was featured in USA Today in the Money Bookshelf column and his book, The Pursuit of Happyness hit bookstores on May 23rd. To view the article, visit

And, Columbia Pictures will release the film The Pursuit of Happyness, starring Will Smith as Chris Gardner, Jaden Smith as Chris, Jr., and Thandie Newton on December 15, 2006.

In his stirring autobiography THE PURSUIT OF HAPPY NESS (Amistad/HarperCollins; on-sale May 23, 2006, Chris Gardner details his journey from homeless single father to self-made millionaire. It is the gripping story of his refusal to give up on his quest for the American dream and his duties to his toddler son, or give into the despair that threatened to devour him from birth.

Today, Gardner is president and CEO of Gardner Rich & Company, a multi-million-dollar brokerage firm, and an avid philanthropist committed to assisting organizations involved in education and economic development. Intelligent, charismatic and well-connected, he is a portrait of success. Yet, he is the same man who was forced by circumstance into homelessness in the early 1980s on the streets of San Francisco. And he is also the boy who grew up poor and fatherless in 1950s Milwaukee.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPY NESS is an inspirational, coming-of-age memoir that bears the message that a hunger for learning, hard work, and never giving up on the people who make you truly "wealthy," can break destructive cycles and propel anyone to unlimited heights - no matter who they are, where they come from, or what their circumstances may be.
