I am currently a State Officer for the NH Future Business Leaders of America. In this role I have the opportunity to take part in advanced leadership programs, coordinate and implement a significant community service project and provide guidance to our developing school chapter. Recently I attended the National Leadership Convention in Anaheim, CA where I participated in the Institute for Leaders two day workshop. In August, I joined my fellow officers at the NH CTSO two day Leadership Institute.
I am actively working on my community service project which I have titled
The Glass Slipper Project.
In the fairy tale, Cinderella, the poor hand maiden is granted a wish to attend a ball and that night changes her life forever. In modern times, the high school prom is the equivalent of Cinderella’s ball—a night that teens dream of and remember fondly for years to come. The Glass Slipper Project combines elements of Cinderella’s Ball and the High School Prom and encourages teenagers who attend the prom to help grant a wish for someone else. I propose to launch a statewide campaign where formal wear shops across the state will donate five percent of either the cost of a prom gown purchase or tuxedo rental from January 1, 2010 to May 1, 2010 to Make-A-Wish Foundation. Students must present a specific coupon to the merchant for their purchase to qualify for the five percent donation.
