SFU Business hosts Courage to Soar 2010 Conference

SFU Business is pleased to host this year’s Courage to Soar 2010 Conference, a national event from August 13 to 18 that brings young leaders from across the country to Vancouver to engage with other leaders.

Youth in Motion’s 4th Annual Courage to Soar Leadership Conference — sponsored by Freedom 55 Financial and hosted by Simon Fraser University’s Faculty of Business Administration — is a dynamic leadership development opportunity available only to Top 20 Under 20 recipients and finalists.

The Top 20 Under 20 was created by Youth in Motion to celebrate and honour Canadians who have demonstrated a significant level of innovation, leadership and achievement but have not yet reached the age of 20.

The conference program developed this year is highly interactive to maximize learning and relationship‐building, and to enable each participant the chance to gain a broader perspective on leadership and its role in the success of our country and the world. Attendees will take part in team building and leadership development exercises, seminars, workshops and presentations.

In addition, alliances and friendships are forged during Courage to Soar – what has emerged are new social enterprises, new business ventures, heightened passions to make change, and an awareness that those who stand as models in their communities exist and are accessible as friends.
