Joshua Muller attended a National Youth Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. from April 15 to April 20, 2008. He joined 300 other young leaders from across the nation to experience the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and deepen their understanding of our democratic form of government.

This event was a chance for young Americans to discuss current issues with those who shape our policies and laws.

Eisenhower, and the organization has remained dedicated to the mission of promoting world peace through increased understanding between citizens of the world.
