Q:     When will the seminar be held?
A:     Seminar participants may register any time after 9:00 a.m. but before 10:45 a.m.
         on May 30, 2008. The Alabama Leadership Seminar will begin with the opening
         session on May 30, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. and conclude at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday,
         June 1, 2008. You must be present for the entire weekend seminar unless you
         have been excused by the Seminar Chairman.

Q:     What kind of program is planned?
A:     During your HOBY seminar experience, many dynamic leaders-all volunteers from the fields   
         business, education, government and other professions – will address numerous aspects of
         our changing world and the challenges future leaders will confront. The program will not          
         promote any specific political party, business, religion or way of thinking; but it is designed
         to develop an awareness of present and future issues by actively involving seminar
         participants in discussions and informal debate. You will have the opportunity to ask
         questions of the discussion leaders throughout the weekend, which leads to a fuller
         understanding of topics presented.     

         You will be asked to become part of HOBY’s commitment to “Leadership for Service.” By
         undertaking a community service project(s) involving at least 100 hours, you’ll have the
         opportunity to join 335,000 other HOBY alumni nationwide who have made a difference in
         their school, community, place of worship or other “environment” in which they saw a need.
         the program includes outstanding speakers, entertainment and a special closing reception
         to which your parents are invited.

Q:     What are the accommodations like?
A:     Meetings will be held in Smith Hall on the campus of Troy University in Troy, Alabama.
        Participants will be assigned to on campus dorm rooms with two ambassadors per room on
        floors reserved exclusively for the seminar. Everyone will receive breakfast, lunch and
        dinner. While the dorm rooms are fully furnished you will need to bring the following: Twin
        bed sheets, blanket, pillow, towels, wash cloths, soap, shampoo and any other toiletry items.

Q:     If necessary, how may I be contacted during the seminar?
A:     Parents, friends and family members are discouraged from calling students during the

        your parent(s) or guardian may call the Troy University Police at (334) 670-3215, Monday

A:      Dress is casual throughout the weekend. Shorts are perfectly acceptable for Friday and
         Saturday. Dress for Sunday is “dress-up.” For Gentlemen this means shirt and tie. For
         Ladies this means a “Sunday dress.” You will be provided a HOBY t-shirt and there will be
