Call for Programs
Submitting a Proposal
The theme for our 26th Leadership Week is “Retro Future: Building Future Leaders“. This year’s theme reminds us that great leaders draw strength from the past while imagining bold possibilities ahead. The Leadership Week Executive Board invites any individual or group to submit a proposal related to one of the following three leadership topics:
- Student Success and Well-Being: Programs will focus on pathways to student success and enhanced personal well-being. The programs will develop and empower leaders to thrive and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
- Discovery and Exploration: Programs will focus on creative and/or entrepreneurial leadership or research initiatives and their contributions to pressing societal issues including, but not limited to, the climate crisis, food and housing insecurity, poverty, physical and mental health, biodiversity and animal welfare, or human rights.
- Community and Culture: Programs will foster a culture of innovation, inclusion, public service, and/or collaboration. Program content will model civil discourse that is consistent with the Florida Board of Governor’s Statement of Free Expression.
