MIDLAND YOUNG LEADERS CHALLENGE

The program will be hosted June 13-14 at the Midland College campus, free of charge.
The Midland Young Leaders Challenge will help to develop leaders who can solve problems and communicate solutions that will propel our world to greater peace, prosperity and mutual respect.

Those core principles guided General Tommy Franks through a 38-year military career.
During the program, students are presented with ethical and leadership challenges to improve their leadership ability and confidence through persuasive communication, character and leadership development. Attendees will participate in a persuasive speech contest and have an opportunity to earn scholarships as well as the chance to attend the national Four Star Leadership program in July hosted by General Tommy Franks.
