Asian Youth Leadership Conference

The Asian Pacific Leadership Conference offers 50 college undergraduates,
selected from public and private colleges across the state, a unique
opportunity to explore their potential to develop him or herself as future
leaders for California's emerging Asian Pacific Islander communities. The
conference features highly interactive workshops, intensive small group
discussions, exploration of leadership in a cultural and community context,
and the chance to interact personally with state leaders.

Dates: Friday, Nov. 11th through Sunday, Nov. 13th
Location: Santa Barbara, with a portion of the conference on the UCSB campus

Cost: There is NO FEE to attend the conference. Meals and lodging will be
provided, however, attendees will have to find their own transportation to
Santa Barbara and back.


Other: The conference is NOT restricted to political science or public
policy students. Any student with an interest in community leadership or
non-profit work is absolutely encouraged to attend.

However, for those students who are interested in politics, the conference
offers the chance to hear presentations from a member of the California
Assembly, several community activists, as well as the chance to interact
with chief advisors to Attorney General Bill Lockyer and to the Speaker of
the California Assembly.

Conference information, agenda and online application is available at:
