An Idea in the Making

It’s 3 p.m. on a Sunday in August and I am logging onto my first work call of the week. “Work on Sunday afternoon?” you might ask. Yes, because this call is special. It is the first meeting of the 2024-25 Aspire Leadership Consulting Youth Advisory Board. I am about to spend two hours with some of the highest-achieving high school juniors and seniors from across Virginia.
