In 2016, a leadership conference for community college students was initiated. The impetus for the undertaking was a perception that community college students may not have access to activities focused on social capital and the soft skills of leadership. Community college students are diverse based on age, race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. They come to campus for classes and may leave immediately after class for jobs or family responsibilities. The parking areas of community colleges are ideal observation points for the transitory nature of the community college. Meetings and discussions with Vice Presidents from two community colleges, led to the leadership conference. The conference included a keynote presentation, 21 concurrent sessions related to social capital and the soft skills of leadership, and students' self-reflections on their leadership skills. Sponsors provided funds for lunch and prizes. The positive results of the first event in 2016 led to a second event in 2017. The manuscript provides details of the initiative.
