This year’s keynote address will be delivered by Former NFL Player and motivational speaker Raymonn Adams. Adams is a creative storyteller with and entrepreneurial spirit, and an advocate for people who are on a journey to self-empowerment.

His goal is to inspire everyone to redefine their story by facing their fears and become the champions they were born to be.
Following the Keynote Address, attendees will have the opportunity to attend a workshop of choice in a breakout session. After that, facilitators from the Prevention. Action. Change of Maine Organization out of Portland, ME will provide attendees with an Active Bystander Intervention Training.
