Celebrate, connect, grow…together!

Message by Rev. Joe Conway…Meditation…and special music by Jared Michael Cline.

Joseph ‘Joe’ Conway is a forward-focused leader who believes true success lies not in what we’ve accomplished, but in what we’re capable of building next. With a track record of transforming workplace cultures and creating spaces where equity and belonging thrive, Joe is less about resting on accolades and more about actionable impact. His leadership style blends strategic thinking with a no-nonsense, real-talk approach that inspires action and lasting change. Known for challenging the status quo, Joe prioritizes helping others succeed by identifying opportunities, putting steps in place, and turning ideas into tangible outcomes. For him, it’s not about staying in the past—it’s about moving forward, together, with purpose and precision, ensuring every step counts toward a future where individuals and organizations achieve their fullest potential. Oh…and he just happens to be a Rev.

As an active performer, musician, and songwriter in Wilmington, NC, Jared Michael Cline aims to connect with his audiences on a level that digs deep below the surface of each and every person in attendance. Citing his influences as “life, love, and pain”, he has no problem using his pen to address thoughts and feelings that are essentially taboo, or plainly, unspoken.
