20th Annual National Character & Leadership Symposium,
February 20 - 22, 2013
"The Silver Lining: Courage Through Adversity"
The annual National Character and Leadership Symposium, one of the premier national symposiums in the field of character and leadership development, brings together distinguished scholars, military leaders, corporate presidents, world-class athletes, and others to explore a character-related theme based on the United States Air Force Academy Outcomes. This three-day symposium provides the opportunity for all Academy personnel, visiting university students and faculty, and community members to experience dynamic speakers and take part in group discussions to enhance their own understanding of the importance and challenges of sound moral character and leadership.
The best leaders tell great stories - to illustrate, to inform, to share. At NCLS, we orient leaders to see themselves and their world differently, to see opportunities for character and leadership development, to emerge from being great people to being great leaders whose decisions and actions will shape a better future.
Since 1993, USAFA has hosted students and faculty from over 500 different schools, to include civilian colleges and universities, ROTC detachments, service academies, as well as international delegations from Turkey, Korea, and Japan. Previous speakers include humanitarian Greg Mortenson, Coach Tommy Lasorda, Olympic Gold Medalist Rulon Gardner, Coach Brian Billick, and numerous members of all branches of the United States Armed Forces.
