WELCOME!

REGION 3 - 1

Elevate yourself as high as Rocky Mountains.DEAR REGION 3 LEADERS:This year, the Regional Leadership Development Conference has been programmed to

help you grow and better yourself by becoming a stronger leader. Our agenda is dedicated

to tackling the most critical topics that characterize a great leader. The purpose of RLDC

is to help you grow as a leader, be able to reconstruct your leadership style and be able

to return to your home chapter and apply your new knowledge. Our theme “Eleva Tu:

Knowledge, Service and Authenticity” is set to help you grow in all three aspects.

Knowledge: All great leaders continue growing their knowledge and expanding such

knowledge into other fields. Having a greater base knowledge, allows you to be able

to focus your thoughts from different points of views. By doing so, problems are quickly

followed by effective solutions which are easily formulated based on the extensive

knowledge you have developed.

Service: Part of being a leader, is being able to serve those around you as well as your

community. As STEM leaders, it is crucial to be able to understand the impact your

actions can bring, whether it is a positive impact or negative. The RLDC has embedded

workshops that help you understand how to effectively use your leadership and skills for

the benefit and well-being of others.

Authenticity: Being true to yourself and being authentic about your persona will aid you

in leading and being more influential. There is a tendency to pay attention and back up

those who are true and speak from the heart. RLDC will help you spark the flame inside of

you and radiate your true leadership potential.
