Turks and Caicos Youth will be exposed to world renowned speaker and mentor, Dr. Myles Munroe thanks to the generosity of Pastor Bradley Handfield and the
initiative of the National Leadership Conference (NLC) Steering committee members.
“We want to ensure that the baton of leadership in The Turks and Caicos can be passed on to able-bodied and able-minded youth. We have determined
that the sort of excellence we see at these very early stages should be given the chance to glean from prestigious and prominent people like Dr. Myles,”
said Pastor Handfield, lead organizer.
Rev. Handfield, an educator who once served as a Head of the Geography Dept at Clement Howell High School; explained that select sixth graders will
be given complimentary passes to the conference, an effort spareheaded by Rachel Taylor, Principal of Enid Capron Primary School, Five Cays.
“We have also been in talks with the Vice-President of the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College, Provo Branch – Mr Samuel Forbes – to ensure
he has a group of his student leaders in attendance. Students who can benefit and then go back and share that knowledge” The National Leadership Conference is a first in what will be a series of sessions in 2012 to get Turks and Caicos Islanders ready for the return to elected government.
