Leadership Kitsap, with the Bon Marche and The Sun, collaborated to provide an opportunity for youth (junior and senior high school students) to express their thoughts about leadership through an essay contest. The focus was on answering questions about the leadership qualities, especially as exemplified by a selected list of local leaders, The authors of the outstanding essay written about each of the leaders were invited to shadow the leader for a day at work to gain an even better understanding of the person's leadership and role.
