The 2014 In­ter­na­tion­al Pow­er So­ca Monarch Machel Mon­tano will give the keynote ad­dress at the 40th An­nu­al Flori­da Caribbean Stu­dents As­so­ci­a­tion Lead­er­ship Con­fer­ence on April 5 at Mi­a­mi Dade Col­lege, Flori­da.

The theme of the con­fer­ence which is host­ed by the Mi­a­mi Dade Col­lege Trop­i­cal Beat CSA and the Flori­da Caribbean Stu­dents As­so­ci­a­tion (FC­SA) is Em­pow­er­ing the Next Gen­er­a­tion of Caribbean Lead­ers.

The con­fer­ence will wel­come over 700 col­lege stu­dents of Caribbean de­scent from Flori­da and around the Unit­ed States to par­tic­i­pate in lead­er­ship and pro­fes­sion­al de­vel­op­ment work­shops geared to­ward the en­hance­ment and em­pow­er­ment of the next gen­er­a­tion of Caribbean stu­dent lead­ers.

Ac­cord­ing to a re­lease from the or­gan­is­ers, sup­port­ing the re­gion's young peo­ple is one of Mon­tano's pas­sions. He has sup­port­ed or or­gan­ised nu­mer­ous char­i­ta­ble con­certs, in­clud­ing the Chil­dren's Life Fund, East­ern Caribbean Flood Re­lief ef­forts in St Vin­cent and the Sea Lots Project in Port-of-Spain. His pro­fes­sion­al and busi­ness acu­men has al­so cre­at­ed a num­ber of en­tre­pre­neur­ial op­por­tu­ni­ties for mem­bers of his team and oth­ers through­out the Caribbean re­gion.

"We are tru­ly ex­cit­ed to hear from one of the Caribbean's leg­endary mu­sic voic­es. His pas­sion, com­mit­ment, and con­tri­bu­tions to Caribbean mu­sic, arts, and cul­ture reach across gen­er­a­tions. We look for­ward to his in­spi­ra­tion for our lead­er­ship jour­ney," said FC­SA pres­i­dent, Fab­rice Stu­art.

The FC­SA pro­vides a statewide plat­form of lead­er­ship de­vel­op­ment, civic en­gage­ment, com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice and cul­tur­al aware­ness among col­lege and uni­ver­si­ty stu­dents of Caribbean de­scent through­out Flori­da. The 2014 Con­fer­ence will ex­plore the cul­tur­al, lead­er­ship and civic en­gage­ment in the Caribbean com­mu­ni­ty.
