Read why student leaders attend NCCWSL and learn about their thoughts and experiences with leadership. I define leadership as being able to overcome adversity through any means possible. - Maggie Luttrell Leadership is a compromise between knowledge, experience, and sincerity. My definition of leadership is standing up for what is right, admitting when you are wrong, and being able to listen to others. -Megan E. Gokey I love the idea of bringing women together for a common cause and purpose. I was attracted to attend because I felt it would be a great opportunity to engage in dialog with women from different walks of life. -Jordan Casteel
