problems. The time to fill those leadership roles within our homes,
schools, and communities is here. Being prepared with knowledge and

classical books, philosophers, mathematicians, and war before they
gained the skills of great leadership.This seminar teaches you how to
begin your own leadership education at home.
This seminar is in Federal Way, Wa and is hosted by Moira Caswell
(Chair of Leadership Education Association of Puget Sound and LEMI
mentor). LEAPS board members have offered to open their homes to out
of town guests for this seminar. Please read below for more
