Students and Schools The Illinois Leadership Seminar is in full swing for 2008! We are very pleased to announce that our seminar will again be held at North Park University in Chicago. The seminar dates are June 21-22, 2008. The Illinois Leadership Seminars are run by the same dedicated volunteers that have made it so successful over the last 25 years! In order to maintain a leadership seminar that is free to schools and their students, we are now affiliated with the NSYL leadership seminar network. We continue to provide similar, high quality, spirited, leadership development that has touched the lives of so many students in the last 25 years. During the seminar experience, many dynamic leaders - all volunteers from the fields of business, government, and the professions - will address numerous aspects of our changing world and the challenges future leaders will confront. The program will not promote any specific political party, business, religion, or way of thinking; but it is designed to develop an awareness of present and future issues by actively involving seminar participants in discussions and informal debate. Students have the opportunity to ask questions of the discussion leaders throughout the weekend, which leads to a fuller understanding of topics presented. The program includes outstanding speakers, entertainment, and a special closing ceremony to which your parents are invited. Students are also asked to become part of NILS's commitment to "Leadership for Service." By undertaking a community service project(s) involving at least 100 hours, you'll have the opportunity to join 3,000 other NILS Leaders in making a difference in your school, community, place of worship, or other "environment" in which you see a need. Unique opinions and diverse peers will challenge your student in a secure open environment monitored closely by our coaches. Northern Illinois Leadership Seminar exists to develop leadership characteristics in high school sophomores. Our program allows your student to interact with leaders in industry, government, the arts, education and other occupations. Individuals discover their own perspective and "right answers" at Northern Illinois Leadership Seminar. We focus on future leadership and leadership in the community today. Each student is challenged to provide 100 hours of service in the community after attending our seminar. They are given the tools and the opportunity to take what they have learned and be more positive role models for their peers. Schools - click here to enter our on-line nomination system.
