Three thousand three hundred high school and junior high students from across the state registered for the event. Organizers estimate the number of attendees to have been around 4,000, including UVSC college students. This year's theme was "The Power to Influence," with keynote addresses by motivational speakers Steven R. Covey and Meg Wheatley. Several students from Pay-son High, Sarah Harold, Cassie Falnbella and Chad Parks, are all thinking about attending college at UVSC, and were in attendance Tuesday. "The day was pretty fun," Harold said. Harold wants to pursue a career as a loan officer. Falnbella, who wants to study accounting, said she learned how to be a better leader through the conference. Her favorite breakout session was one held by army recruiters, and included an obstacle course of sorts. When he finishes high school, Parks plans on serving an LDS mission and then studying accounting when he returns. He said the conference was better than being in school all day. CAL Director Dr. Bruce Jackson said, "Our goal is to give the high school and junior high school students throughout Utah a world-class experience in leadership. We have a comprehensive leadership certification process for all degrees on campus. We hope that what we do within the community (especially through the Annual Leadership Conference) will prompt students to choose UVSC as the best place for them to continue on their journey through personal and professional excellence." Jackson recapped Wheat-ley's speech when he said, "She showed us that you don't have to be executives, senators or military officers to be leaders. Leaders show up in every sphere of life. I very much enjoyed the concepts about the 'walk out's'-those individuals who have left the perceived ladder of success to find causes that they felt passionate about." Jackson said Covey's speech emphasized "leadership as a process that taps into all parts of self: physical, emotional, psychological, philosophical and spiritual dimensions."
