Dear High School Counselor,
Do you have a high school sophomore who shows
leadership potential and excels at academics, athletics, arts, and/or community
service? We think every class has at least one.
This is a chance to show that leader a positive way to use their talents, while
showing them some genuine appreciation for what they’ve already accomplished.
Best of all, it doesn’t cost anything to attend, except for
transportation to and from Waukesha, WI.
We are excited to announce that Wisconsin
Leadership Seminars (WILS) will once again be holding its annual 3-day
leadership seminar for outstanding high school sophomores across Wisconsin in
June 2009. WILS is a local volunteer organization that identifies outstanding
high school sophomores throughout Wisconsin and provides them with the
opportunity and encouragement to recognize their leadership potential. We invite
you to nominate one student (plus an alternate) who already exhibits positive
leadership qualities in their school and community and/or shows leadership
potential that may simply need some added encouragement.
The high-energy weekend consists of team-building
activities, motivational speakers (we’ve built relationships with several
spectacular speakers), community service, a talent show, a college fair, panels
of key leaders from various industries, small group discussions, and more. We
encourage leadership development through emphasis on personal responsibility,
volunteerism, increased awareness of social issues, and open-minded analysis of
all sides of an issue when making decisions. WILS also has an active alumni
association that meets throughout the year to keep the spirit and friendships
alive.
The students selected to attend are provided this opportunity because they have
demonstrated to be responsible citizens in their community and thoughtful
individuals in their school. In our society, a great deal of attention and media
exposure is given to young adults who act negatively. WILS is set up to provide
recognition and growth opportunities to students who act positively and
acknowledge that we value their contributions made now and in the future.
2009 marks our 7th year as WILS and marks the
32nd straight year that our
program will be offered at no cost to the schools or students. The annual
seminar is an experience which we’d like to keep open to as many schools as
possible, so we’ve adjusted over the years to ensure that the only cost to the
students for the weekend is their transportation to and from Carroll
University in
Waukesha, just outside of Milwaukee.
We invite you to select an outstanding student from your sophomore class to
attend the 2009 Wisconsin Leadership Seminar, which
will take place at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI on Friday through Sunday,
June 12
-14th, 2009. Please do not pass up this opportunity to reward an
excellent student from your school! The method by which you make this selection
is entirely up to you. Please select a student who is a sophomore in the ‘08-‘09
school year. If there is already a nomination process at your school, fabulous!
If not, take a bit of time now to determine what you feel to be the best
criteria for selection of the nominees from your school. Past leaders have
excelled academically, in athletics, extra-curricular activities, or community
service. The choice is up to you. It is a leadership seminar, and our goal is to
cultivate those leadership qualities in the person you nominate. Please look for
an exceptional student who you believe represents the leadership potential of
your student body.
To guarantee your student’s place at the 2009
Wisconsin Leadership Seminar, we must receive your nomination by January 31st,
2009. Don’t wait; begin
your nomination process today!
Once your nomination has been processed you will receive a confirmation email. A
postcard will also be sent to the nominated student within 30 days of processing
their nomination. This postcard will also notify the student that they will
receive more program details and their registration packet in April of 2009.
We are very excited about having an outstanding 2009 seminar and working with
you many years into the future!
Sincerely,
Leah Arndt
