This year’s keynote speaker will be Joshua D. Posley, creator of the Take Care life coaching program. Experiencing a career-ending injury as a professional athlete led Joshua in high pursuit of understanding his life purpose and mission. Along this journey, he learned the power of investing in personal growth and development to increase his quality of life. This led to a powerful career in Life Coaching, Public Speaking, and program/curriculum development. His life mission is to elevate the consciousness of the world to realize that we have the power to achieve exceedingly, abundantly above what we can ask or think according to the power within us to invest in our minds.

The College Fair will give students and supportive adults an opportunity to speak directly with representatives from colleges and universities they may otherwise not have the chance to visit personally. In addition to asking questions, students and parents can set up college interviews, pick up literature and learn about the various financial aid programs available.
