New Youth Leadership Hall Class Announced
Gainesville, GA – May 8,2009: The Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce initiated Youth Leadership Hall (YLH) in fall 2005. The program is designed for high school juniors and seniors and enables students to develop leadership skills while increasing awareness of the community. The YLH program consists of two sessions, fall and spring, and seeks to provide an investment in the community’s future leadership by fostering interest in the community and inspiring students to become the leaders of tomorrow. Students must have a satisfactory academic standing and be nominated by a teacher, administrator, coach, or extra curricular activity director. A selection committee interviewed and selected the following high school participants for 2009-2010.
“I am grateful and honored for the opportunity to serve as the incoming QuEST (Quality Education Strategy Team) Council chairman. I am excited about the future of the program and look forward to a great year,” stated Jody Nelson, Georgia Power Company, who has served on the Youth Leadership Hall committee for the past two years. “After interviewing close to 100 students, our committee realized the high caliber students we are fortunate to have in Gainesville-Hall County. The 2009-2010 Class of Youth Leadership Hall is an exceptional group of students.”
