Pension educators don’t just explain benefits; you help people step into their financial future with confidence. In a landscape shaped by complex regulations, economic uncertainty, and multi-generational workforces, your role goes far beyond accuracy. The real opportunity is igniting engagement that moves members to act.

In this energizing opening keynote, Melissa Boggs uses live roller skating as a metaphor for momentum – exploring what happens when we stay safely “at the wall” versus what becomes possible when we step onto the floor. Through storytelling, practical tools, and interactive energy, participants will discover how to move ideas forward, spark earlier member engagement, and translate conference inspiration into real-world implementation.

Melissa Boggs brings a rare mix of intentionality, warmth, and edge to every stage she steps on, often literally, in skates. With a gift for making big ideas feel personal and personal stories feel universal, she meets her audience exactly where they are—and challenges them to move forward with courage.

Through story, motion, and a deep sense of presence, Melissa creates an experience that’s both energizing and disarming. Her message lingers long after the music fades, leaving audiences more connected to their own boldness and ready to act on it.
