The purpose for the 2018 RLDC Conference is BE BOLD. This theme aligns with the vision and mission of our local university, which drives to produce the next generation of leaders within the Central Valley. Bold is an attitude that moves ideas, opportunities and people beyond convention, obstacles and naysayers, to success. Being bold inspires leaders and transformation because it tests the limits and possibilities in a positive, results-oriented way that is focused on the greater good for our community. -Joseph I. Castro (President, Fresno State University) Being Bold is a theme that should resonate with all conference participants regardless of which section of the SHPE pipeline that may fall under. Being Bold is a lifestyle, which energizes great leaders to propel their vision into reality. It is our goal that whether the attendee is K-12, undergraduate/graduate, or professional, they understand what it truly means to Be Bold, and how they can utilize it in everyday life to push them forward in their prospective careers.
