Speaker Bio:

President Cordon is currently serving as the tenth president of Southern Virginia University. She recently completed seven years as a General Officer of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the last five as President of the worldwide Young Women organization. In this role, President Cordon led the Young Women organization through a significant season of growth and change represented, in part, by the implementation of a new, worldwide Children and Youth program and the significant expansion of For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences that bless hundreds of thousands of youth and young adults each year.

Focused on loving God and loving others while providing opportunities for youth to lead out within their homes, church, and communities, President Cordon has worked with civic, government, and religious leaders around the world to identify local challenges and ways young people everywhere can contribute. Her focus on analyzing policy and procedure to better meet the growing needs of today’s rising generation resulted in a series of structural changes to empower, embolden, and enable youth to succeed. President Cordon has also contributed to institutional boards, including the Church Educational System Board of Education, Brigham Young University Broadcasting, Humanitarian XP, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Church of Jesus Christ’s Missionary Executive Council.

In addition to her time as Young Women General President and First and Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, President Cordon served as a mission leader for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Curitiba, Brazil; pursued a management career in the software industry; and started her own business. She is married to Derek Cordon and is a mother of four and a proud grandmother of seven.
