Development Program
May 23 - 25, 2014— St. John’s College, UBC in Vancouver
Application deadline: Thursday – February 27, 2014
Dear Grade
11 Student,
The Minerva Foundation for BC Women invites you to
apply for the Learning to Lead™ BC women’s interactive
leadership development program to be held at St. John’s College, on the campus
of UBC in Vancouver from May 23- 25, 2014.
Our thirteenth annual Learning to LeadTM program will bring together
24 Grade 11 student leaders, 24 graduate students and young professional
leaders, and 24 outstanding community leaders from all over the province for
the weekend. As with past years, all of our participants are women who have
successfully distinguished themselves in a variety of fields.
The goals
of the Learning to LeadTM program are as follows:
- To bring together three generations of leaders
- Community, Emerging, and Grade 11 Students for insights, learning,
sharing and growth;
- Inspire a movement towards values driven
leadership;
- To provide learning opportunities to foster
the development and enhancement of leadership skills. Areas of
concentration include self-awareness, values, community, personality type
consciousness, team-building, creativity and communication;
· To get participants to make leadership commitments to themselves about
their community;
· To provide tools for all participants to achieve their personal,
educational, and career goals.
The weekend
provides a great opportunity to create unique relationships and networks that
can only be forged in an environment that’s created by the Learning to LeadTM
BC program. Each participant will learn about her style of leadership and will
enjoy listening to prominent speakers as they share their leadership stories.
The program is interactive and each Grade 11 leader will be matched up with one
graduate student or young professional leader and one accomplished community
leader with whom they will participate in the different workshops of the
weekend.
Accommodations will be provided to all Grade 11
student leaders in residence at the University of British Columbia campus
within walking distance of St. John’s College, where the conference is hosted. Through
the generosity of our sponsors, the Minerva Foundation for BC Women covers all
direct costs including food, lodging, and transportation. In addition, students
travelling to the program will be met at their arrival points and supervised by
qualified chaperones throughout the weekend.
Note: RSS can nominate ONE student. Let your counsellor know if you are interested in applying and to get more information.
