Molly Barker-

Molly Barker is the founder of Girls on the Run International, a transformational movement that has empowered more than 2.5 million girls across North America since 1996. What began with thirteen girls running after school in Charlotte, North Carolina, grew into a globally recognized program blending movement and life skills to build confidence, resilience, and belonging. A lifelong athlete and sought-after speaker, Molly continues to inspire girls and women to live with courage, authenticity, and bold possibility.

Betty Kellenberger-

Betty Kellenberger is a lifelong educator and trailblazer who taught middle school for more than 40 years before serving several elected terms as a County Commissioner in Montcalm County. An accomplished endurance hiker, Betty completed the Appalachian Trail at age 80, setting a record as the oldest woman to finish a thru-hike. Her story is a powerful reminder that leadership, grit, and possibility don’t have an expiration date.

Zoey Coleman-

Zoey Coleman is a teen author, public speaker, and pageant titleholder from West Virginia in the Miss America Organization. She is a self published author of two books that promote confidence, movement, and positive self image among young readers. Zoey is also the youngest Pilates instructor in West Virginia, using wellness as a platform to empower youth through healthy habits. Through pageantry and community involvement, she is passionate about leadership, scholarship, and making a lasting impact.
