This is my fifth (I think, it could be 6th) year to speak at the HOBY Texas North Leadership Seminar. This event easily is one of my favorite of the year.
HOBY is an all volunteer organization focused on building leadership skills for high school sophomores. The HOBY ambassadors (one per school) attend the Leadership Seminar each Spring and get the chance to learn, create, and build communication, teamwork and leadership skills. Speakers come from business, media, politics, law to talk to the students.
The HOBY story is a great one. It all started with a television actor who spent some time with Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
If you ever doubt the future of our country or doubt the spirit, energy, creativity and leadership of today's kids, I encourage you to volunteer with your local HOBY chapter. Meet some of the HOBY ambassadors. I guarantee you will be inspired and impressed. These kids are amazing, and the HOBY experience is truly rewarding.
If you are interested in HOBY, please visit http://www.hoby.org/. There are chapters across the country (and many chapters in other countries). If you live in North Texas, visit http://www.hobytexasnorth.org/.
To all my HOBY friends, thank you again for another great experience. Outstanding!
