Career and Leadership Development Events

From those that focus on public speaking and critical analysis to those that apply technical skills useful in high-wage careers, there’s a career or leadership development event that can suit every member’s interest.

The multi-faceted approach to growing the whole person includes a focus on character and interpersonal skill development, technical acumen and critical thinking capabilities.
