A NO-COST LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR DESERVING STUDENT DELEGATES
Thank you for your school's interest in the Rotary District 5340 LEAD Conference. We are confident that participation in LEAD will be a valuable experience for your student Delegates.
LEAD will take place at San Diego County Office of Education’s Camp Cuyamaca on the dates shown above. There is no cost to the Delegate, to the Delegate's family, or to the school. All expenses are paid by the Rotarians and Rotary Clubs of Rotary District 5340. Delegates will be transported to and from LEAD on professionally driven busses with current state, federal, and CHP required certifications.
SCHOOL RECOMMENDED TIMELINE (Please try to complete the actions by the date indicated to insure participation by your sponsored student Delegates)
August
September
The Rotary Club representative will give the applications to the LEAD Registrar who will contact the students and their parents with detailed LEAD information. If you become aware that a Delegate cannot attend the LEAD Conference, please notify your sponsoring Rotary Club representative so the student can be replaced by an Alternate.
October
DELEGATE (Student) SELECTION CRITERIA
Each participating school must select an equal number of boys and girls to attend LEAD as Delegates (e.g., one boy and one girl, two boys and two girls, etc., depending on how many students your sponsoring Rotary Club authorizes) and one boy and one girl to be Alternates in the event a Delegate is unable to attend.
Since LEAD will occur in October, Delegate and Alternate selections must be completed by September 10. Delegates must complete the online application by September 15 and may need assistance if a computer is not available at home. Completed and signed Applications for both Delegates and Alternates must be collected and delivered to your sponsoring Rotary Club by September 20.
Delegates (and Alternates) must exhibit all of these qualifications.
The LEAD Committee does not require that a Delegate has achieved academic superiority. A Delegate facing personal or environmental obstacles may work harder for academic achievement than another student “cruising” along at the top of the class. The LEAD Committee is pleased to have Delegates that have overcome challenges and have surpassed academic expectations.
