Youth Leadership of Palm Beach County Class of 2011


The Class of 2011's graduation ceremony was held on May 18, 2011 at the Hilton Palm Beach Airport. After sponsors and volunteers were recognized and dinner was served, Ed Chase, President & CEO of the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce gave a humorous and inspiring speech on life and leadership. Towards the end of the evening, YLPBC Chair Eric Hopkins and LPBC President Ron Harbison presented scholarships ranging from $1,000-$1,500 to seven deserving students. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Mr. Hopkins presented the Class of 2011 with their certificates and thanked them for a wonderful year. It was a fun and exciting night for the Youth Leaders, their families and schools to reminisce about the past year and thank those who made it possible.
