Mission Statement:

Our mission is to inspire and empower America’s future leaders by fostering community engagement and uniting business professionals, educators, families, and volunteers to actively nurture the next generation. We believe that leadership, inclusivity, and national security are interconnected, and that every individual has a vital role in securing a prosperous future. 


Drawing from Dr. McConkey's insights in Be the Weight Behind the Spear, we aim to create a culture of collective responsibility where mentorship and active involvement are encouraged not only in the boardroom or classroom, but also within local communities. 


By promoting meaningful engagement at all levels, we ensure that leadership development is accessible and community-driven, paving the way for sustained business success and national resilience. Together, we are building stronger communities and a more prosperous future for all.
