National Young Leaders Day 2011

Recently a group of 10 students attended  the National Young Leaders Conference at the Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland. After a very early start to the day and breakfast at McDonalds en route to Auckland we joined 3000 others to hear some very powerful messages about leadership. Inspiring speakers challenged and encouraged the young people present  to consider what makes great leaders. Nick Tuatasi shared an important message about using our skills to give something back to our communities. How many of us make sure we take the time to do this in our busy lives?
