This is for all you students in the midwest... Mark your calendars. The 2008 Midwest Asian American Student Union (MAASU) Leadership Retreat is happening next month, November 14-16 at the University of Missouri.
Students are invited to take part in an inspirational weekend of networking, leadership and learning with fellow students from all around the midwest. But you have to act fast—the early registration deadline is this Sunday, October 19. Group registration is highly encouraged.
This year's Leadership Retreat theme is "Heroes: Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things," designed to inspire leaders from among the Midwest's Asian American community. The conference includes a packed schedule of workshops covering a variety of topics and issues, led by an impressive list of speakers and facilitators.
I should add that the conference organizers at Mizzou have kindly invited me to the weekend's keynote speaker, so I'll be there next month to take part in the retreat and deliver what I hope will be a few words of inspiration. So get yourself signed up. For more information, and to register, visit the MAASU Leadership Retreat website here.
