DEAR PARENTS,
We realize that high-school students are entering into a future that is increasingly competitive, whether it is regarding post-secondary education or their full-time careers. The Queen's Leadership, Excellence and Development (QLEAD) Conference provides high school students from across Canada with the opportunity to experience three days at one of Canada's most prestigious universities and programs, the Smith School of Business.
The conference provides students with an in-depth experience of the business world through a multitude of activities, including workshops, a speaker series, and a case competition. Throughout the weekend, students will learn to improve their communication, teamwork skills, and presentation capabilities, all while working with some of the brightest young minds from across the country.
QLEAD is part of the Commerce Society, the student-run society within the Commerce program, which prides itself on professionalism. Our conference ensures a safe and respectful environment to allow all of our delegates to thrive in the best way possible.
Finally, the price of the conference covers speaker and workshop expenses. General bursaries for delegates will also be available on a per-needs-basis. Applications for bursaries will be posted with the conference delegate application in the fall.
If you have any further questions or queries, please feel free to contact us at information@qleadofficial.com. The QLEAD co-chairs, Ben Nolfi and Katie McAvoy, or the members of the Delegates team, Lexi Marichetti, Anika Tasneem, and Diego Chavarria are happy to answer all of your questions.
We hope to see your child at QLEAD 2023!
