Leadership Important Dates

Parent Meeting // Takes place in May each year

Each year in May, we invite parents and students of incoming UthMpact Leadership Class members to attend a Parent Meeting one evening at the Polk County Sherriff's Office. This meeting provides an overview of what to expect on monthly Leadership Days, at the Retreat, as well as for the Community Project and other programs/activities student leaders will participate in during the coming year.

We ask that UthMpact Leadership members complete a waiver, sign the UthMpact agreement, and pay a nominal retreat fee before the Parent Meeting. Forms are mailed to new members in April.

Personality Workshop // Takes place in June each year

The Personality Workshop is the first mandatory event for new UthMpact Leadership Class members each year. Over the years, we have used DiSC and Strengths Finder personality tests to show individual strengths and help provide a clear strategy for building more effective relationships in the workplace and in life!

UthMpact Leaders receive a link to take the online personality profile test after the Parent Meeting in May. Then, a Workshop is scheduled to help students gain valuable insight into themselves and how best to communicate and take on a leadership role!

UthMpact Leadership Class Retreat // Takes place in June each year

The UthMpact Leadership Class Retreat is held in conjunction with the personality training. This provides a fun opportunity for students to complete team tasks, receive training, play games, bond with classmates, and learn valuable leadership skills.

Red Ribbon Run // October 25, 2025

UthMpact Leadership members lend a hand at InnerAct Alliance’s Red Ribbon Run community event each year helping to set up, assist at various stations, and break down when the event is over. A group of UthMpact Members run the concession stand and proceeds help fund a UthMpact Scholarship awarded to one or two UthMpact Seniors at the end of the year.
