Leaders of Tomorrow
Mission Statement
Leaders of Tomorrow, an affiliate of Leadership Tuscarawas, is designed to bring together high school students to help them become successful leaders in life, work, and play. Previously titled the Millennial Leadership Exchange, this event is held each spring at 91²Ö¿â at Tuscarawas. Since 2014, area leaders have helped share their passion with our community’s young people through presentations, workshops, and networking.
Leaders of Tomorrow Summit
All area high school students are invited to participate in our day-long leadership summit held at 91²Ö¿â at Tuscarawas. There they experience inspirational Ted-style talks from area leaders and participate in workshops about their own personal growth and goals.
Whether it is a tip, a life lesson, or something they wish they had known when they were the students’ age, each presenter has an important message. This event is inspiring, hopeful, and gives a glimpse of the lives of some amazing professionals who are making a difference in the world around them. Each year we inspire hundreds of area youth through excellent leadership talks and personal growth workshops.
The 2027 Summit will be held Friday, March 5, 2027. This year the event will feature TEDx Style speeches, small group workshops, and panel discussions with area leaders.
