2024 Fall API Forward Student Leadership Conference

Join us at the 2024 Fall Student Leadership Conference! Gather with fellow API students and speakers from the community to share and learn about "Building Leadership across Generations."

We often hear about how generational differences show up among Boomers, Gen-X, Millennials, and Gen-Z. What if we had a greater understanding of how to communicate and leverage our strengths across generations to become more effective leaders?

At this event, you'll experience authentic conversations and make new connections. Come ready to listen, learn, and be heard. You’ll also have the opportunity to dive into an activity to envision your own leadership after listening to the speakers!

FREE and open to API undergraduate college students. Snacks and lunch included. Special thanks to Portland State University for providing the space and continued support.

Topics of discussion include:

• Stronger Together: How to Lead and Communicate across Generations
• Stronger Together: Values, Equity, and Impacting Change across Generations
