Welcome, or for some of you, welcome back to the Manhattanville College Annual Leadership Conference blog page! This page was created to keep all of our followers up-to-date on conference happenings, hear candid insight from the members of the Leadership Conference committee and give readers the opportunity to share information with conference planners and other student leaders on the topic of leadership. This will be a go-to hub of information about all things leadership. And don't forget to save the date for this year's conference which will take place on the campus of Manhattanville College on Saturday, February 18, 2011 at 8:30AM in Reid Castle.
This year as we began planning the conference and explored topics and themes of interest to student leaders at Manhattanville and beyond, we did some deep soul searching to determine what we thought every student leader needed to know to be successful during and after college. The answer was very clear and very simple....you need to know YOURSELF! So this year, our theme, “BE A SHOWSTOPPER: Finding Your Leadership Voice” will address the age old question, "Who am I, how do I share who I am or 'find my voice' within the world?" Let us help you find out! From exploring topics of career choice to self-advocacy in the community to resolving conflict in the classroom/workplace, we will explore all things that will encourage you to be a better leader by encouraing you to be your "authentic self" (Thanks Oprah!).
This blog will be updated each week, featuring a special guest blogger from the Leadership Conference committee, who will update you on the current happenings of the committee, offer exciting updates for the conference and their own personal reflections on how they are "finding their leadership voice." We encourage everyone to feel free to leave feedback, ask questions and utilize this space to connect with other student leaders from all over the world. We hope that this blog will become a great platform to share ideas, answer questions and help every student become the best student leader that they can possibly be.
Keep an eye out for information regarding how to get involved in the Manhattanville Leadership Conference as well as information on how to register for the conference in the next few weeks. And as always, if you are interested in getting more involved by presenting on a topic related to our theme, "BE A SHOWSTOPPER: Finding Your Leadership Voice," feel free to contact anyone on the committee or reach out to us at our email leadershipconference@mville.edu. We are looking to have everyone get involved!
I'm so excited to be a part of this great event and I hope everyone will be inspired to come out and get involved -- by presenting, by volunteering, by attending or just by commenting on this blog. There is no time like the present to "Find Your Leadership Voice." I hope you will join us on Saturday, February 18, 2011 ! Have a relaxing break and wonderful holiday season and we’ll be seeing you soon!
-Kia Brown, Manhattanville College Leadership Conference Committee Co-Chair
