The third session of the Willow Creek Leadership Summit concluded with Wendy Kopp
Wendy Kopp is the CEO and founder of Teach for America
Through this seminar I have been illuminated as to the problem of education in America. Check out their website for more info.
Here is their vision statement:
“One day all children in America will have the opportunity to obtain an education.”
Key Quote from the session:
“Its easy to become a leader when you are pursuing something you deeply, deeply believe in.”
