Student Leadership Conference
“Igniting the Spark Focusing the Flame”
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The Prince William County Public Schools’ Student Leadership Conference is designed
to inspire students to continue seeking out and accepting leadership responsibilities as
part of their contribution to society, increase awareness of current and emerging
leadership challenges in a variety of settings, and develop a network of students in Prince
William County Schools with leadership potential to support collaboration among
emerging leaders.
This year, we will expand the conference to include students who hold nominated
leadership positions in school organizations and clubs as well as the Growing Our Own
Program, which is designed to recruit, prepare and mentor students interested in the field
of education. This year we will focus on effective leadership traits adapted from
“The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” by John Maxwell.

6: Sensitivity in Working with Peers – Effective Student leaders understand that they must
“motivate and NOT dictate.”
7: Self Accountability – Effective Student Leaders understand that a primary quality of a
successful leader is hard work ethic and the ability for self-accountability.
8: Action Plans to Achieve Group Goals – Effective Student Leaders are aware of the group goals
and then take action plans to implement the necessary steps to ensure that the students in their
section are properly prepared.
9: Understanding Leadership – Effective Student Leaders will do what is right when no one is
watching and stays true to the organization’s core values.
