Thomas College annual leadership conference for students is Nov. 2

WATERVILLE — Open to area college students and high school seniors, Thomas College will host its annual leadership conference from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov 2, at the college, 180 West River Road.
This year’s keynote address will be delivered by former NFL player and motivational speaker Raymonn Adams, a creative storyteller with an entrepreneurial spirit. He is an advocate for people who are on a journey to self-empowerment. Through facing mountains of adversity, he’s used his positive and motivational attitude towards life to rise above and achieve what most would deem impossible: from being the first person in his family to graduate college, to becoming a three-time All-American in football, national champion in track and field, and a Hall of Fame inductee. He lived out his dream of playing in the NFL for the New York Jets.
Adams is an author, speaker and founder/CEO of two technology companies. 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, students can attend a workshop of choice in a breakout session. After that, facilitators from the “Prevention. Action. Change.” organization in Portland, will provide attendees with an “Active Bystander Intervention Training.” The conference will wrap up around 2:30 p.m., including raffles.
The cost is $15 includes conference, gift and lunch. Register online at bit.ly/2NePOlM.
