Registration is now open for the 2013 African American Leadership Conference to be held February 1 and 2 at the Trojan Center Theater on the campus of Troy University.

Shelia Jackson, City of Troy Tourism director, said the theme for this year’s conference is “Heritage, Faith, Future & Legacy.”

“The Leadership Conference annually celebrates African American History Month,” Jackson said. “Last year’s conference was well attended and a great success. We are very excited about this year’s conference. We are expecting a record attendance so we encourage everyone to register early. Conference registration is quick, easy and online at http://trojan.troy.edu/leadershipconference/registration.html.”

Registration may be as an individual or as a group of people.

Registration is $30 per person and $15 for Troy University students.

“Registrations received after January 25 will be subject to a $10 late fee,” Jackson said. “Troy University will be closed until January 4 so those who register during that time will not hear back immediately.”

When registration is completed, checks should be made payable to Troy University Foundation and mailed to Leadership Institute, attention Donna Brown, 268 Smith Hall, Troy University, Troy, AL 36082.
