IIGL President\u2019s Message<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lynda Eze (Nigeria\/USA)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Uniqueuju91@gmail.com<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0am thrilled and deeply honored to announce that I have been elected as the President of the\u00a0International Institute For Global Leadership (IIGL). This incredible journey began about 14 years ago when I first joined IIGL, and over the years, I have had the privilege of serving as a regular Board member, Recording Secretary, Vice President, and now as President.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am profoundly grateful to\u00a0Michael Lightweaver (USA), the visionary founder of IIGL, for creating this amazing platform\u00a0and for his unwavering support and dedication in growing it to impact lives around the world. To Deborah Rosen (USA), our director, your support through my school years has been invaluable. Julie, whose memory I hold dear, mentored me with wisdom and kindness.\u00a0Kathleen Oweegon (USA), your presence and inspiration in every IIGL activity have been a beacon of light for all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

A special thanks to\u00a0Amb Felix Iziomoh\u00a0(Nigeria) for always being there, from the first encouraging phone call to hosting me at the IIGL conference in Lagos. Your mentorship and role model leadership have profoundly influenced my journey.\u00a0Noeline Kirabo (Uganda), your story and achievements have shown me that it doesn’t matter where you begin; you can achieve greatness.\u00a0Ethelbert Obinna Umeh (Nigeria), your impact in as an IIGL graduate, past president and board member, is truly inspiring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working closely with\u00a0Vivian Muciri (Kenya), our immediate past president, as vice president, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of IIGL in personal and career development. Vivian, you are a true national leader and a winner in every sense. Connecting with such positive, purpose-driven individuals from around the world has been one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you all for trusting me with this position. I am committed to making IIGL known to many more people and working together with the newly elected board members to take IIGL to greater heights.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Others Are Saying<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Officer Goals and Visions for 2024-2025 Term<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

President Lynda Eze (Nigeria\/USA)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am truly humbled and honored to be elected as the President of our great organization IIGL. I want to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for placing your trust in me. Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of serving as your Vice President, and I am excited to build on the progress we have made together. As President, my commitment is to continue to serve IIGL with dedication. I look forward to working with each of you to achieve our goals and take IIGL to even greater heights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vice President Udeme Idem (Nigeria)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To support the president’s visions and plans for IIGL. Propose any adjustments to curriculum and procedures to the President and the Board of Trustees. Verify that all training (LMC) programs articulate clear student-learning objectives and reflect\u00a0IIGL values. Formulate and update educational programs that motivate and support students to graduate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corresponding Secretary Cheu Pswarayi (Zimbabwe)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am really happy to have the opportunity to serve for another term. I have gained so much from IIGL. To put simply, so I am hoping that this term I can spread some positivity to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recording Secretary Michael Kelechi (Nigeria\/UK)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today as the newly appointed Recording Secretary of the IIGL. I am deeply committed to our shared mission of nurturing high-integrity, heart-centered, and conscious leaders who are poised to make a positive impact in their communities and the world. As I embark on this term, I am inspired by the incredible potential we have to drive transformative change within our institution and in the lives of our students. My vision for this term is rooted in three key objectives: Fostering a vibrant and engaged student community, Enhancing the effectiveness of our educational programs, and Cultivating a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treasurer Zach Rosen (USA\/IL)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

First and foremost, my vision is to uphold the financial responsibility and transparency of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, there\u2019s much more virus or cyber security issues nowadays. So, if something looks off, getting on it right away and then from there making sure that everyone understands where we’re spending our money, and when we do get those strong donors and just trusting that what we’re doing with the money is for the best of the group and continuing to grow the IIGL mission.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Students are Reading<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rules of Work (Ebook)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people are simply great at their job. They always seem to say the right thing; do the right thing. They are mentioned in every conversation. Everybody likes them. They get promoted. They get pay raises. They get along with the boss. And somehow, they do all these things without being unpleasant, breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort. And when they are offered another step up the corporate ladder or a fabulous new job, no one is surprised. After all, they have ‘potential’ written all over them. How do they do it? Do they know some secret we don’t? Yes, they know The Rules of Work. These rules aren’t about how to do your job, day-to-day (assuming you are pretty good at that already). The Rules of Work are about how you are seen to be doing it. They are about how you appear to others. And they are about helping you to achieve the success you richly deserve. he Power of Self-Confidence\u00a0explains how to increase your \u201cmental fitness\u201d by thinking like top performers!<\/span><\/p>\n

Students\/Graduates In Action<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

IIGL Graduate Eric Omari (Kenya) omari15@yahoo.com recently shared an update about\u00a0 ALFA stands for A better Life For All, it’s a registered community based organization located in Kibera Slum that he founded! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cALFA advocates, and empower the community with positive values, we have various activities in ALFA Network. We empower students who are less privileged, needy and brilliant\/intelligent students with academic support or sponsorship which the Planetary Transformation Project has been in front line to support the students, in our academic calendar we have three terms, a term goes for three months, whereby tuition fees\/school fees is paid on a term by term basis, or annually depending with the resources, a year goes for three terms. Those students who have joined High school, it takes four years to finish or to complete High school studies and they are awarded a certificate to ascertain successful completion of four years studies, then they can join University or colleges. We have another interesting program empowering small scale business through micro – finance and table banking, whereby we categorize them in a group of 10’s to have a soft loan to boost or start a small scale business and we also encourage them to do table banking and merry go round, it is one way of eradicating poverty and create self-reliance.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make A Difference<\/span><\/p>\n

Dream Team 22<\/span><\/p>\n

Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month.\u00a0 We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks\u2019 salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2024!<\/span><\/p>\n

Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money.\u00a0 To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below.\u00a0 To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details:\u00a0 drosen2@wi.rr.com<\/span><\/p>\n
