Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) was recently held at the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business, Mt. Hope, Trinidad on the 15th and 16th of January, 2015. District Governor Elwin Atmodimedjo had indicated that he wanted RYLA to be held at four different zones in District 7030. The first of these was held in Trinidad with the grouping of Trinidad & Tobago and Grenada.
 
Close to one hundred delegates attended mainly comprising of Interactors, Rotaractors, and other Secondary Schools students sponsored by the individual Rotary Clubs of Trinidad and Grenada. Chairman Wayne Nanan brought greetings and opening remarks.
 
During the two-day seminar/workshop the delegates were exposed to and interacted with various facilitators specialized in their respective fields of interest. The established RYLA topics covered were:
 
Crisis Management – Mr. Kurt Wellington. ALJ Graduate School of Business
Fundamentals of Leadership – Rtn. Hafiz Ali, Massy Group of Companies

Rotary Purpose of Service to the World – PDG Dr. Stephen Ramroop, CEO of  ODPM

Rotary Purpose of Service to the Community – PDG Victor Pilgrim – Consultant
 
The program was chaired by PP Jamir Ousman, the Moderator was PAG Dev Gosine assisted by AG Daniel Abriham and other volunteers of Rotary. One of the highlights of the conference was that very little or no paper was used. All the pre-preparation and interaction on the days of the event was done with “smart devices”. To this end special thanks to PAG Dev Gosine.
