LeaderShape, which is held in Allerton Conference Center, Champaign, IL is a six-day leadership training program provided through a partnership with The LeaderShape® Institute. This Institute is recognized nationally as offering one of the premier leadership development programs for young adults.


“… I must say, this program was quite powerful on many levels.  I used this opportunity for significant personal development on top of the goals of the institute.  The week away from reality gave me the time to do the real thinking that I have always wanted to do but never had the time to. ..  This program has opened my eyes to many facets of life in addition to leadership skills…  There is no doubt in my mind that the LeaderShape Institute graduates will ‘be the change they wish to see in the world’… I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend this awakening and empowering institute.  I struggle to find the correct words to accurately describe the experience because it invoked passions and a heightened consciousness that I was not aware I was capable of.  I encourage ASMI to continue to sponsor the world’s future leader’s attendance to this program because I am confident that anyone who attends will be changed forever.  Thank you for your generosity and investing in OUR future.”
Daniel Skorski, Alfred University, 2006 LeaderShape Participant
