A Day of INSPIRATION for Future Leaders

On a recent Saturday afternoon in Houston, 70 female students in grades 9th through 12th gathered to participate in the 2013 Future Leaders Forum for Young Women.  This annual event, sponsored by Capital One Bank, is designed to connect young women with their unique leadership abilities, build mentor relationships and community engagement. 

Young women interested in attending the event completed a registration process, including the submission of the written essay on "How I am a Leader".  With limited space for participants, Academy of Choice students Rita Hernandez and Anecia Lewis Davis were fortunate to secure two spots at this year's event. During the day's activities, Hernandez and Lewis Davis engaged in an indepth question and answer sessions featuring participants' essay submissions, followed by one-on-one mentoring opportunity with female executives. 

Congratulations to both women on their leadership and for representing SBISD at this event.
