Youth often ridicule their peers with genetic conditions, yet these children are capable of educating and advocating in a refreshingly personal and effective way. Transitional leadership isn't the division of work between adults and youth; it is the stratification of responsibility across generations, nurturing youth's leadership potential. Capitalizing on youth's energy and enthusiasm assures the future vitality of our organizations. This workshop looks at successful youth-adult partnerships, ways to engage youth, applicable laws, and the vital role of adult board members in nurturing leaders of the future.
