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 16, 2013 at 8:30AM in Reid Castle.
In the wake of one of the biggest elections in US history and some of the most significant social and political events in the Eastern World, it is only appropriate that this year we take a look at leadership through the lens of the public eye. Leaders can come in all forms, from the President of the United States to the Libyan rebels to the Occupy Wall Street protestors in Zuccotti Park. All of these groups can teach us a valuable lesson, either positive or negative, in leadership if we only take a moment to watch the things they say and do. So this year, our theme, “$H!T LEADERS SAY AND DO: A Learning Experience in Leadership Etiquette” will embrace those moments to help us all become more experienced in how leaders can be agents of change, solidarity and expression. From exploring how are actions can be perceived by others to what our Facebook pages say about us to having meaningful meetings and conversations, we hope to provide skills that will enable everyone to go out and be successful leaders in today’s global community.
This blog will be updated each week, featuring a special guest blogger from the Leadership Conference committee, who will update you on the current happenings of the committee, offer exciting updates for the conference and their own personal reflections on the “#H!T LEADERS SAY AND DO." We encourage everyone to feel free to leave feedback, ask questions and utilize this space to connect with other student leaders from all over the world. We hope that this blog will become a great platform to share ideas, answer questions and help every student become the best student leader that they can possibly be.
Keep an eye out for information regarding how to get involved in the Manhattanville Leadership Conference as well as information on how to register for the conference in the next few weeks. And as always, if you are interested in getting more involved by presenting on a topic related to our theme, "$h!t Leaders Say and Do: A Learning Experience in Leadership Etiquette," 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 hope you will join us on Saturday, February 16, 2013!
-Kia Brown, Manhattanville College Leadership Conference Committee Co-Chair
