63rd Keynote Speaker and Luncheon

KEYNOTE SPEAKER and GUEST OF HONOR

Imre Lendvai-Lintner, President of the Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris “Hungarian Scouting in the Diaspora – Character Building, Hungarian Identity and Service”

Advance purchase of lunch-lecture ticket is required to attend the presentation. Venue / Meeting Room: Ballroom 4

Imre Lendvai-Lintner was born in Feldkirch, Austria in 1949. He arrived in America in the summer of 1956 and joined the Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris that September. He carried out his scout leadership work within the Garfield Troop No. 6 Gábor Áron Scout Troop, in leadership training camps, and at headquarters. For the last thirty-two years, he has served first as Executive President (1993-97) and then as President (1997-25). In leadership training, he previously led central patrol leader camps 12 times, and since 1994, he has been responsible for scout officer training. He was the commander of the 1995 HSAE Jubilee Grand Camp.

His objectives include encouraging every Hungarian-speaking youth living in the West to try scouting. He considers the further development of the Association (leadership training, support materials, updated trial systems, etc.) important for successful long-term youth education work. He aims to make the advantages of the worldwide organization (connections, friendships, experiences) available to all scouts through more intensive exchange activities. He also considers it important to further strengthen the fundamental pillars of scout work (character building, Hungarian identity, and service).

He served as the President of the Forum of Hungarian Scout Associations from 2008-2011 and since 2013. He has led the Forum’s last four officer training courses.

He holds degrees in Metallurgical Engineering (Bachelor’s and Master’s). He earned his diplomas from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, USA. From 1973 to 2006, he was employed at ExxonMobil’s technical institute. He spent most of his career as a manager, with his last position being Mechanical Engineering Department Head. Since retiring in 2006, he has been able to serve the goals of HSAE and Hungarian scouting full-time.

He is the father of three children and grandfather to 9 grandchildren.
