¡Bienvenidos!
23nd Annual Leadership Conference
March 8, 2013
Western Oregon University, Monmouth OR
Students, volunteers, school staff, and community members will have an opportunity to attend educational, cultural and leadership workshops; visit with college and career exhibitors, and celebrate the accomplishments of the Latino community. Additional highlights of the conference include the student Art, Essay, and Poetry contests and our annual scholarship program.
Firm believers in the talents and abilities of our young people, the conference planning committee implemented an art, essay and a poetry competition. Students are asked to share their views on the life of César E. Chávez. On the back of our conference t-shirt is the 2012 winning art entry. All the student participants should be commended for their efforts.
Our scholarship program has been an important part of our conference since the very beginning. We are proud to say that we’ve awarded over $400,000 to deserving Latino high school graduates. The support of our sponsors allows us to continue rewarding the achievements of our Latino youth.
On behalf of our planning committee, welcome and we hope you enjoy the 23nd Annual César E. Chávez Latino Student Leadership Conference.
