Polito, Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr, Fitchburg Mayor Lisa Wong, President & CEO of the Worcester Chamber of Commerce Richard Kennedy, CFO of New York Life Investment Management David Bedard, and motivational speakers Katelyn Weymouth and Nelson Lauver.

The START Conference is co-sponsored by Nichols College and the Student Leadership Training Program (SLTP).
