Valor Hispanic College Leadership Development Awards

In collaboration with Gallup and their Gallup Leadership Institute, the U.S. Army, the University of the District of Columbia, Educational Testing Services [ETS], Verizon, Southwest Airlines and the Washington Hispanic newspaper, CapitalWirePR is seeking a select group of emerging Hispanic college student leaders to participate in a one day leadership development program hosted by the University of the District of Columbia with a mid-day luncheon at the National Press Club in downtown Washington, DC.

Gallup has an outstanding reputation for reliable public opinion polling. Over the years they have come to identify the key traits in successful businessmen and leaders that have enabled those individuals to reach the top tier of achievement. The Gallup Leadership Institute has refined those observations into an assessment program that is used by our country’s most dynamic organizations to build their leadership team. CapitalWirePR’s one day program on May 5 includes an assessment for those students selected. In addition, there will be a presentation on what those results mean in the context of developing the participants’ identified traits into a better informed and successful career strategy.
