All programs are designed, owned, and facilitated by The Leadership Center based in Aurora, Nebraska
School group leaders often set the tone and culture for not only the organization, but often the entire school. The first annual Presidents Summit is designed to connect, build, and equip high school organization chapter presidents to promote strong organization and school cultures, a healthy view of leadership, and an opportunity for advanced leadership coaching for high achieving individuals.

Core Focuses
1. Connect
High school seniors who hold leadership positions, such as organization presidents, often find themselves in a unique and sometimes isolating position as a high performer compared to their peers. For many, this may be the first time they’re surrounded by peers who inspire and motivate them on a similar level.
Sponsors will also have the opportunity to interact with some of the state’s top talent in their class over a networking meal.
2. Build
Chapter presidents hold an important position in school systems, yet they are still early in their leadership careers. Delegates will learn new leadership principles and levels of self awareness through workshops on topics like Leadership vs Management, using Gallup Strengths, and how to build trust in relationships
3. Equip
Finally, delegates will be equipped with specific tools and skills for their upcoming year including learning effective meeting strategies, tech tools to communicate with their team, and resources for event planning
This conference isn’t just an event; it’s a chance to build a community of high-performing, driven young leaders who can support and inspire each other to achieve even greater things. By participating, these students will gain a powerful reminder that they’re not alone on their journey and that their potential is limitless when fueled by the strength of a like-minded network.
