Tony Ive was selected to participate in the Economics for Leaders program that was conducted at the University of San Francisco recently.

Tony is one of 33 students from around the country who was honored by being accepted into the Foundation for Teaching Economics' San Francisco Economics for Leaders program. All of the students were selected because they have demonstrated excellent leadership potential. Ive has participated in student government throughout his high school career and will be the student body president this coming year at Seattle Lutheran High School.

During the weeklong Economics for Leaders program, students attained an understanding of economic reasoning principles and how to employ these concepts for successful and effective leadership. Additionally, participants achieved a heightened awareness of the impact their decisions have on others and the responsibility that awareness imposes. Economics for Leaders is an unparalleled learning and growing opportunity. Students who have attended Economics for Leaders programs in prior years have called it "the experience of a lifetime."
