Rotary hosts leadership conference
The Sunnyvale Rotary Club has launched the sixth annual Enterprise Leadership Conference, a three-day training program at the Asilomar Conference grounds in Pacific Grove for high school juniors.
The Sunnyvale club will be joining with the Rotary Clubs of Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Altos, Campbell and Sunnyvale Sunrise to recruit 60 students from local area high schools for the conference. At the conference, business leaders–drawn from Rotary membership and local businesses–present key business concepts such as management structure, finance, marketing, product/service development, and human resources in a seminar environment.
The challenge to the students is to use these concepts to develop a virtual company with a virtual product or service. On the concluding day of the conference, each student team presents its company business plan to a panel of Rotarian judges.
The teams are evaluated on the degree to which they have applied the enterprise principles to create a company and their skills in presenting their vision to the judges through their business plan.
Deadline for student applications to the program is Dec. 19. For more information, visit RotaryELC-SiliconValleyWest.org or email Joseph Ribera at j.ribera@comcast.net.
