The Roy H. Park Leadership Speaker Series is an essential part of the leadership development program. The series provides the Park Fellows and other students at the Johnson School with an opportunity to hear mature views on leadership and develop role models based on the experience of seasoned executives. We believe that this is an essential step in arousing the motivation and confidence necessary for students to learn about and explore these issues on their own.
