NELA fellows attended the NOKid Hungry Conference in Chapel Hill, NC. Keynote speakers included Dr. Mike Steiner, Chief of the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at UNC Heath Care, and Duke Storen, Senior Director at Share Our Strength. NC non-profit organizations were also present including PORCH, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, and Grocers on Wheels. The photo below is of the NELA fellows, NELA Associate Director Dr. Lesley Wirt, NELA Graduate Assistant Leelynn Pinion, and Gerald Owens of WRAL. Mr. Owens was the emcee during the 2014 Breakfast Challenge Awards Ceremony.
Cohort IV fellows visited A.B. Combs Elementary School. The school uses Covey's Seven Habits to promote student leadership. Fellows and NELA Team members were greeted at the entrance of the school by students dressed to represent different countries. We watched a student-led presentation and student-led choir before being led around the school by student-tour guides . Student leadership was very apparent at A.B. Combs! "This visit was amazing. Ms. Summers has an extraordinarily almost magical way of cultivating leadership skills from the students in her school. Spending the day with her was like apprenticing a master craftsman. One is left with a reflective pause that produces a realization that a successful leader is also an inspiring figure. Ms. Summers is just those things." - Keith Parker, Cohort IV Fellow
