September 23-24: Fall Ethical Leadership Conference for High School Students

The conference leverages lessons from the life and example of George C. Marshall, whose career as a soldier and statesman serves as a positive and timeless model of effective ethical leadership and “five-star character.”

Using examples from Marshall’s long career of service, participants learn and apply these enduring lessons in a modern context. Please share this info with your networks and give them the link below to apply now!
