The twenty-fifth annual Enterprise Leadership Conference (ELC) is scheduled for March 5, 6 and 7, 2008. ELC has been held annually since 1983. Over that time, Rotary Clubs of San Jose and Los Gatos have sponsored over 2,000 students who have participated in this unique three-day all expense paid program at Asilomar State Conference Center, in Pacific Grove. Ninety-six junior class students are selected each year from among the area’s high schools to attend this high-energy conference about our nation’s free enterprise system. Students work in small teams to develop a business plan for a product or service conceived by the team. Interspersed throughout the conference are presentations by corporate executives, business owners, and professional people from the business community.
