Two presenters will share their perspectives on financial literacy, good intentions and conquering fear during an upcoming conference for western Colorado high school students and teachers.

Howard Beatty and Tunji Adebayo are scheduled to lead presentations at the Western Slope Economic Leadership Conference in Grand Junction.

The Freedom & Responsibility Education Enterprise (FREE) Foundation presents the annual conference as part of its efforts to promote financial literacy. High school juniors and seniors from across the region, along with their teachers, attend.

Registration is under way for the conference, set for 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 5 at the University Center ballroom at Colorado Mesa University.

Beatty, a former energy industry executive turned discussion leader, will lead three sessions titled “What You Need to Know About Money Before You Are 20 Years Old,” “Are Good Intentions Enough?” and “I, Pencil.”

Beatty addresses such topics as capitalism, individual liberties and limited government.

Adebayo, a former science teacher who founded a holistic health company, will lead a session titled “Conquering Fear” as well as conclude the conference. His presentations help students develop the skills and attitudes they need to recognize their potential.
