Carly Posey is a nationally recognized speaker and advocate for school safety and community preparedness. Her journey in safety advocacy began after a life-altering experience on December 14, 2012, when two of her four children were inside Sandy Hook Elementary School during the tragic events that forever changed the nation. Carly’s youngest son bravely escaped from his first-grade classroom, while her daughter remained hidden in an art room. Her older two children, attending the nearby intermediate school, were placed in lockdown for hours. This tragedy ignited Carly’s passion for supporting schools, districts, first responders and communities in strengthening safety protocols and emergency responses.

Carly has since held impactful leadership positions within the safety and security industry, including serving as the Mission Director at The “I Love U Guys” Foundation, where she spearheaded reunification and crisis response initiatives, and as the Executive Director of Safe2Tell, a nationally acclaimed anonymous reporting program. She also served as the Program Director for Anderson Software, focusing on enhancing public safety communication and support.

Prior to her work in school safety, Carly and her husband successfully owned and operated multiple businesses for over 20 years, leading a team of more than 50 employees. Known for her dynamic and relatable speaking style, Carly effectively translates complex safety concepts into actionable strategies that resonate with audiences. She currently resides in Colorado with her husband, Dave, and their four children and continues to be a driving force in advancing school and community safety.
