Jessica Liptak ,who was chosen to attend the National Life Skills Academy earlier this year, has now been selected to participate in the Toro Future Leaders Forum at Disney World in Florida in November. This forum helps students broaden their leadership skills, prepare for college and explore career disciplines within the game of golf. The application process included a 350-word essay on her goals, career aspirations and post-high school plans; involvement in school and community activities; and a letter of recommendation from school faculty and The First Tee Chapter Executive Director. Only 50 students from across the country are chosen to participate! Jessica will participate in Disney's “Leadership Excellence: The Inside Track" program that teaches the leadership strategies, techniques and behaviors of successful Walt Disney World executives. Additionally, the Forum connects students with industry leaders to learn about careers in tournament operations, golf course management, broadcast media, marketing and hospitality. The program includes presentations from Disney Institute, Toro, PGA of America, The Golf Channel, Marriott Golf and The Children's Miracle Network, along with a behind-the-scenes look at a PGA TOUR golf event.
