NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR FOUNDERS’ LEADERSHIP SOCIETY

Boise State University faculty, staff, students and alumni are invited to submit nominations for the Founders’ Leadership Society class of 2003. Nominations will be accepted until Feb. 15.

The Founders’ Leadership Society was established in 2002 to recognize graduating students for their outstanding leadership involvement, both on campus and in the community. Induction into the prestigious society will provide students with opportunities to mentor other students and to participate in meaningful activities to enhance their personal and professional leadership growth beyond graduation.

"Boise State needs a society like this that gives student leaders an avenue to carry their leadership skills into their new role as alumni," said Lee Denker, executive director of the Boise State Alumni Association. "I look forward to working with them and providing meaningful opportunities for them to remain involved with the university and the many friends that they made here."

Ken Rock, vice president of the Associated Students of Boise State University, noted that the society will create new opportunities for students. "It will allow us to build connections that will extend beyond the confines of the university. Not only will these connections follow us wherever life takes us, they will also ensure that we will always have a place here," he said.

Society members will be invited to meet annually for learning and networking opportunities. The goal is to develop a network of leaders with ties to Boise State. Criteria for the award include leadership skills, commitment to service, an appreciation for diversity and academic achievement.
