Governors' Climate Change Summit
The League of Creative Minds directors and select delegates were invited to attend Arnold Schwarzenegger's Climate Change Summit, on September 30th, October 1st and October 2nd, 2009. For three days, the League delegates were in the presence of global climate change leaders, policymakers and over 200 international reporters. The League delegates observed live debate, negotiation and the creation of new climate change policies, as well as attendance and participation in breakout sessions.
In addition to the privilege of attending the Summit, the League directors formed a Climate Change Commission of delegates that composed a media piece that was broadcast at the Summit. At the Summit, the League delegates met youth from all around the world.
Upon returning from the Summit, the League delegates began actively participating in public speaking presentations that exemplified what they learned at the Summit and ideas the Summit inspired in these young middle school and high school minds. The League delegates presented both to their peers and to adults in the local community. Additionally the League delegates were invited by the San Francisco Bay Conservation to give an hour long report to the entire SF BC DC staff. Currently, Executive Director, Will Travis, is working with the League to facilitate youth representation in local Bay Area climate change projects and initiatives.

"The greatest discoveries and works of art and literature have come from minds that dared to question, minds that changed a pattern to find an answer, minds that were unconstrained by restrictions of any sort. Our children, the future of this world, are blessed to be living in times that allow them to explore as far as their mind takes them. I have taken on this supreme challenge to raise money for LCMMUN, funds that will be used to undertake complex projects to bring about new ideas to shape the future of our world and humankind."

Delegate Dinner & Gala
The League of Creative Minds, hosted its First Delegate Dinner & Gala at the World Affairs Council on Saturday, June 6th, 2009.
A lively keynote address by the public defender of San Francisco, Jeff Adachi was fascinating for all the young delegates to witness. We recognize the importance and value of such a role model to address a group of young middle school and high schools students.
Moreover, we had outstanding delegate speeches by the current delegates from our League of Creative Minds advanced delegation.
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and immensely successful!
