Leadership Development Advisory Council Dinner
By: Ara Barotilla, Leadership Class of 2016
On Tuesday, April 23, 2013, the Leadership Development Advisory Council met for the final time this school year. The event consisted of several presentations and a dinner with the current students in the Program. Some highlights include a special recognition of Betty Manetta on her successes with Beta Gamma Sigma, as well as the first showing of the newly created promotional video for the Leadership Program. The Servant Leadership Initiative was also recognized for their accomplishments in their service efforts throughout the year, and the sophomores gave their presentation on their Ideas and Trends project that predicted the outcome of the world in the next ten years. Also of great significance, a new initiative was introduced to the Council called “Women Mentoring Women” which will be implemented this upcoming fall, and endeavors to prepare the female students of the Program to be highly successful in a competitive workforce and personal life, with the guidance of the Executive Committee that is comprised of various Women on the Leadership Council. The night wrapped up with the students joining the executives for dinner and some networking, and the announcement of the Junior Mentoring Project winners. Congratulations to Deirdre Kane, Dwayne Greene, and Stephanie Gonzalez!
