Tina Kemp attends leadership program Golf tourney raises funds for district
Heppner
High
School
sophomore Tina Kemp joined
more than 200 sophomore leaders
from throughout the state at the
Oregon Youth Leadership Hugh
O ’Brian Youth Foundation
seminar held in Wilsonville,
April 14-17.
The Oregon Youth Leadership
Seminar, HOBY, brings together
a select group of high school
sophomores so that they can in
teract with groups of distinguish
ed leaders in business, govern
ment, education and the profes
sions to discuss present and future
issues. The goal is to provide the
youths a unique forum for learn
ing about the American incentive
system and democratic process
and for broadening their
understanding of their leadership
potential and quest for self
development.
The seminar challenges them to
think about the world around
them and what they, as the future
leaders, have to do to positively
influence business, government
and society. They also better
understand that their goals and
dreams are important and that
leaders have extreme respon
sibility in whatever walk of life
they pursue, said a press release.
The Hugh O’Brian Youth
Foundation was established by
actor Hugh O’Brian following a
visit to Africa where he was in
spired by a meeting with Dr.
Albert Schweitzer.
“ One of the things Schweitzer
said to me was that the most im
portant thing in education was to
teach young people to think for
themselves,” O’Brian says.
“ From that inspiration, and with
the support of others who believe
in youth and the American
Dream, I started HOBY to seek
out, recognize, develop and
reward outstanding leadership
potential among our nation’s
youth.”
