Take a few minutes and hear some of the highlights and key information that was discussed during the session.

Leader In Me School Highlight

This month, Saint Edward Catholic School students got to show off their leadership notebooks! Kindergarten through 5th graders had the opportunity to share their wildly important goals and leadership roles with community volunteers.

Thank you to the area professionals who volunteered their time with the students.

We were so impressed by everything these students have accomplished so far this school year!

Annual Report

We would not be celebrating 10 years of impact without the investment of individuals and businesses who believed in the merit of this important leadership work and helped us shift the leadership landscape of the Cedar Valley.
