TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- North Florida’s leaders of the future are involved in hands-on learning and training here in the capital city this weekend.
High school sophomores from around the Big Bend, Panhandle, and north-central Florida regions have gathered on the Florida State University campus for the annual North Florida Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Seminar.
It is a four-day event, covering the ways present-day students can develop into individuals who can have positive effects on society.
Friday night’s session featured local professionals who shared with the students their tips and wisdom in their own paths to leadership, including our own chief meteorologist Casanova Nurse. Other local speakers included Tallahassee Museum CEO Russell Daws, America's Second Harvest of the Big Bend CEO Rick Minor, and attorney Katherine Viker.
Named for actor and humanitarian Hugh O’Brian, HOBY is an international organization driven to inspire and develop the global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and innovation.
