Introducing our key note speakers

Melissa Pulliam "MoMo"

Everyone has a super power, and people tell MoMo that hers is LISTENING! She currently supports YMCA staff in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska with development and training opportunities as the Training Partner Y Manager for the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties.

As a part of her work, she’s trained over 1,000 people on how to be better listeners. She got her nickname as a camp counselor while leading backcountry trips for teens and went on to become a Camp Director, where she got her start as a YMCA professional. She enjoys the outdoors, spending time with friends, and being creative. She lives in Tacoma, WA and brings with her several friends who share her superpower.
