Insights from our 63rd Annual Session
Student Summer Leadership Institute
July 7th - July 11th Galiliee Baptist Church, Montross, VA
Leadership skills can help gain respect and admiration from others while allowing students to enjoy success in their careers, giving them more control over their future. Leadership can be both learned and developed. Not all students will have leadership positions, nor want them, but students need to learn how to use the principles of great leaders to achieve success in every aspect of their daily life.
