2008 Conference Series
Class members participate in three multi-day conferences: Power of Government, Power of the Individual and Power of the Marketplace. The sessions are interconnected by the focus on leadership and the opportunities to make positive change. Presentations emphasize discussion, not lecture. The caliber of the participants and the diversity of their expertise lend to dynamic discourse. The participants move through each session as a group making each topic a building block for the next conference.
