The NW Leadership Conference serves as a yearly opportunity to examine and explore issues related to hip-hop like sustainability, accountability, global citizenship, leadership, ownership, privilege, diversity, social justice, race/racism, sexual orientation, gender relations, and getting paid in a multicultural 21st century America. This conference fits in perfectly with many of the issues that interest and challenge us every day.  We are looking for workshop sessions that stretch participants’ thinking every day, all day all year long.  The workshop sessions will be challenging, though-provoking and provide participants with practical skills and tools to listen, process and take action.
