The skills and ideas young people acquire will help them make wise decisions in the coming years. Through these seminars, held annually in each of our United States, Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) provides excellent opportunities for students to better understand the workings of democracy and the free enterprise system.”Ted. Turner, Chairman, Turner Broadcasting Systems 泰德.特纳, Turner Broadcasting Systems 主席：“You know, we business people like to say we’re driven by the bottom line. The real bottom line is the future, and we owe it to our youth to prepare them for that. Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) does just that. By promoting leadership, HOBY is building a corps of young people who will be prepared to meet the challenges facing future generations.”Colin L. Powell, Former United States Secretary of State 科林.L.鲍威尔, 前美国国务卿：“The mission of America’s Promise is to equip the next generation of Americans with the character and competence they need to be successful adults. Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) is one of our staunch allies in this crusade... HOBY is encouraging each of the thousands of high school sophomores who attend these leadership seminars to volunteer at least a hundred hours a year to a community service project. The HOBY commitment to America’s Promise will produce at least 1,400,000 volunteer service hours a year.”Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, and First Lady Nancy Reagan 罗纳德.里根, 第四十任美国总统及第一夫人南希.里根：“The work of HOBY is an important factor in motivating future leaders to become full participants in our democratic process.

They truly are saying no to the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and are standing up for what they know is right. HOBY also gives hope – hope for the future of our youth and our nation. Our deep appreciation goes to Hugh for his efforts.”Mikhail Gorbachev, Former President of the Soviet Union 米克哈尔.戈尔巴乔夫, 前苏联总统：“Perhaps all of us – politicians, scholars and public opinion makers – have not yet fully realized one simple fact. It is that we are not just standing on the threshold of a new century but are present at, and participating in, a change of epochs. Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) is helping facilitate that change.”Muhammad Ali, Olympic Gold Medalist and Heavyweight Boxing Champion 穆罕默德.阿里, 奥运会金牌得主及世界重量级拳王：“In this world, success comes to those with confidence and faith in themselves.

What an outstanding role model for our future!”Mike Huckabee, Governor, State of Arkansas, and 1971 HOBY Alumnus 麦克.哈克比, 阿肯色州州长及1971年HOBY营员：“Attending the Hugh O’Brian Leadership (HOBY) seminar in 1971 was a genuine turning point in my life.

I forged friendships that have continued for years, and the impact of HOBY is a large part of why I am Governor of my state today.”Walter Cronkite, Award-Winning Journalist, CBS News 瓦尔特.克伦凯特, 普利策奖得主, CBS新闻：“Perhaps most importantly Hugh O’Brian Youth Leader ship (HOBY) has created a vehicle by which tomorrow’s leaders can interact with one another and with today's leaders in learning more about themselves and the institutions which they will shape in future years.”“Motivating Tomorrow’s Leaders Today”Al Gore, Former Vice-President of the United States, and Tipper Gore 阿尔.戈尔, 前美国副总统及夫人蒂波.戈尔：“The continued vitality of American communities and our nation is highly dependent upon the knowledge and capabilities of our young people.Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY)today’s young people into tomorrow's leaders.”Norman R.

Bush, 41st President of the United States, and First Lady Barbara Bush 乔治H.W.布什,第四十一任美国总统,及第一夫人芭芭拉.布什：“Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) –countless volunteers – have developed a way to educate America’s next generation in the art and purposes of leading a free people; and that is an enduring and significant achievement.”Actor James Van Der Beek, 1993 HOBY Alumnus 詹姆斯.范.德.比克, 演员, 1993年HOBY营员：“One of the best things that Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) does is it labels every student who attends the conference a leader, whether they’ve ever considered themselves one before or not. Second thing it does is it allows sophomores, possibly for the first time in their lives, a chance to leave behind everyone’s ideas of who they are. For that weekend… they’re completely free to come up with their own definition of self…”Gerald Tirozzi, PhD, Executive Director, National Association of Secondary School Principals 杰拉德.蒂罗兹博士, 常务董事, 美国国家中学管理委员会：“HOBY continues to be a vital program serving our youth. NASSP has enjoyed a professional relationship with Hugh O’Brian and HOBY since 1972. We believe that the long history and commitment of these outstanding HOBY programs are most worthy of our and your support as they continue to contribute effectively to the development of young people. HOBY has my full support and personal endorsement.”
