Dr. Stephen Covey to address Saskatoon area students at
High School Leadership Conference

The University of Saskatchewan Extension Division and the Saskatoon and
District Industry-Education Council worked together to provide 500 Saskatoon
and area high school students with the opportunity to hear Dr. Stephen Covey
speak at a High School Leadership Conference being hosted in Saskatoon on
May 3 and 4.

Dr. Covey, advisor to 150 of North America's Fortune 500 companies and
author of the international bestseller, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective
People, is in Saskatoon to address the 2004 Leadership Conference hosted by
the U of S Extension Division, the College of Commerce and Leadership
Saskatoon. Over 700 business leaders from around the province are registered
to attend that event.

Media are invited to attend Dr. Covey's presentation to the students on
Monday, May 3 at the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel, Saskatoon, from 7:00-9:00 p.m.

According to Janet Uchacz-Hart, Executive Director of the Saskatoon and
District Industry-Education Council, "this represents a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for our future business leaders to hear a motivational speaker
of this stature in person."

"Because of his affinity towards youth," says Helen Duncan, Director of the
Business and Leadership Program at the U of S Extension Division, "Dr. Covey
offered to make himself available to address a youth group during his visit.
We're delighted that we could make this opportunity available - and the more
exposure to the campus we can provide these students, the better."

The second day of the conference will focus on the 7 Habits of Highly
Effective Teens Program and involves professional facilitators and teachers.
