Youth Leadership Forum

Ben was honored to work with Leadership Birmingham and their program the Youth Leadership Forum, to jointly provide a full day of activities, discussion and project tours for the Students final program day focused on Education and Economic Development. We were able to visit Protective Stadium, UAB’s Collat School of Business and Hill Center, along with discussions from Dr. Nalls about charter schools, work with Ben to design their neighborhoods, discussions with Tad Snyder and the BJCC, Deon Gordon with Tech Birmingham, and Kevin Jacquess and Dr. Patrick Murphy to discuss UAB’s real estate development and their entrepreneurial program. Ben has facilitated the students’ planning session for over the past 10 years.
