Archbishop Desmond Tutu Nobel laureate & human rights activist
Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a world-renowned human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Beginning with his opposition to apartheid in South Africa, he has worked tirelessly to spread peace, justice, and democracy and to end racial divisions throughout the world.
His faith in and commitment to the peaceful destiny of South Africa earned Archbishop Tutu the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize. He served for years as his country’s voice of conscience during its long struggle against apartheid. When that battle was finally won, Archbishop Tutu took the lead in ministering to the nation’s wounds. His findings as part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission marked a significant step in South Africa’s healing process, as well as an international reminder of the commitment to the pursuit of freedom and justice.

Our jobs ask much of us. And so do our lives. Employees, families, our boss. We have every reason to spend our time focused on what we need to do in order to succeed.
And yet, leadership calls us to more.
Community business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of world-renowned leaders by attending Leadercast Angelo State. The Leadercast event is broadcast ?LIVE? from Atlanta, Ga. to hundreds of sites around the world, including San Angelo!
Continuing Education Credit
General CEU credits (.6 credit hours) and nursing credits (3.91 hours of CNE credit for 80%+ participation in the event) are offered through the University of North GA.
The HR Certification Institute has pre-approved 4.00 HR (General) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification.
Leadership is beyond the confines of our daily tasks. Beyond the borders of our roles and responsibilities. Leadership asks us to look beyond the everyday and consider the larger community around us — our employees, colleagues, neighbors, and cities. Leadership beckons us to look longer, wider, larger. We are asked to look not only inward, but also outward. Beyond ourselves.
Leadercast exists to positively change the way the world thinks about leadership. This year’s theme – Beyond You – challenges leaders to focus outward rather than inward.
Experience Leadercast on May 9, 2014 and discover what it means to be a leader worth following. Check-in begins at 7 a.m. with the Webcast beginning promptly at 8 a.m.
