Day 3

What a long day! After a nice breakfast out with the GSSNE delegation, we split off in different directions. The delegates went to their council session and the GSLI members went off to our discussion groups. After lots of swapping and working on the selfie game, we went to our different topic groups. I have Gender Equality, Chloe has Teen Violence, and Nicole has Inclusion & Diversity. We each had a speaker specified to our issue and then had speakers who spoke about advocacy, financing, team building, and many others. The speaker schedules were designed to be centered around our Take Action projects. We had a lunch where Candice Kislack spoke, who is from the company Toms. We then got some time in the Hall of Experiences in the afternoon before going back to more speakers. We then had an absolutely inspirational speaker dinner with Elizabeth Smart. Her book was on sale, which I purchased. If you would like to learn more about her story, please visit http://elizabethsmartfoundation.org . We then went to take action project planning and did a lot more swapping. Afterwards, we walked around downtown and found a cute gelatin shop before coming back to the hotel. It was a long day, and I hope tomorrow is full of more fun!
