Held last Thursday, the 5th "Annual Partners in Leadership" youth leadership conference was another resounding success! Bringing together students from Encina High and business leaders/mentors to discuss leadership and ethics resulted in some great discussions and bonding among the participants.  Tania Fowler, this year's conference chair person, did a fabulous job putting together a day of interactive discussions providing students insight into what it takes to be a leader and learning from the mentors some of the pitfalls that they faced in their lives and careers.  Most mentors come away from the conference feeling that they got more out of it than the students did!
 

Tania will be doing a more in-depth recap of the conference in a few weeks (enjoy your vacation Tania…you deserve it!), but I wanted to share some pictures from the day.  If you didn't get an opportunity to participate this year, I hope you'll consider it next year…you'll be glad you did!
