Emerging Leaders in South Carolina

I just returned from looking at a wonderful program at Columbia College in Columbia, SC. http://www.columbiasc.edu/leadership_inst/

Following a week of the Emerging Leaders Camp for 24 middle school students who are preparing to take on 9th grade was inspiring. Based on the core values of Courage, Confidence, Commitment and Competence, the girls are inspired throughout the week to set goals and plans to achieve those goals. The girls in attendanec were highly motivated -- with big plans for their futures. I will expect these girls will set things on fire as they continue to aim high and continue their quests.

Dr. Linda Salane, Candy Waites and Carol Vaughn were the epitome of southern hospitality. They are highly committed themselves to their mission -- creating amazing South Carolina women!

Enthused and motivated by their success, the NM Girls Institute will begin looking at creating a similar program -- with our own Southwestern twist! Stay tuned for more information as the NM Girls Institute Leadership Camp takes form!
