Terrill Wood and Levi Michener, both students at Gallatin High School, recently attended the Missouri Chamber of Commerce Leadership in Practice program at Stephens College in Columbia.
JS Logistics of St. Louis sponsored Wood and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of Jefferson City sponsored Michener’s participation in the program that selects future leaders from schools across the state. More than 130 high school students attended this year’s program.
Leadership in Practice is a three-day program designed to provide young Missourians – students between their freshman and sophomore years in high school – with the opportunity to learn the characteristics of leadership. Leadership in Practice is part of a youth leadership educational program that was created by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce in 1962. It is funded through scholarships provided by Missouri businesses and civic organizations.
