Pat Helton

Pat Helton represented the Conejo Valley at the Coldwell Banker International Elite Retreat at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, Aug. 16 to 18.

Chris Gardner, author of "The Pursuit of Happyness," was the keynote speaker. Helton had the opportunity to meet Gardner, and he gave her an autographed copy of his book. According to Helton, Gardner's presentation was "truly inspirational," conveying the message that persistence in following one's dream, despite adversity, pays off in the end. He also emphasized the importance of parents being responsible for their children. Helton was honored at Coldwell Banker's International Elite Retreat.
