In 2002, several local NBMBAA® chapters (Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Houston and Dallas) established the Leaders of Tomorrow® (LOT) Student Case Competition to increase student participation in LOT® Program activities; improve the students analytical and presentation skills; and increase interaction with other students in LOT® Programs across the country.

The four chapters also wanted to provide an alternative resource for corporate sponsors and higher education institutions to recruit high school talent, while helping to support the goals of the LOT® Program and the Organization.

The aforementioned objectives were met during the first competition in Atlanta, by awarding scholarships to two winning teams – in the amount $400 – giving students 

an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, problem-solving skills, analytical proficiency and presentation abilities to corporate executives and professors judging the competition.

The Competition has since developed into a three day event, where students participate in a college tour, are acknowledged in an awards ceremony and are 

provided opportunities to interact with their peers in a collegiate setting.

Since the initial competition, participation and scholarship funding for the LOT Case Competition has expanded to include more than 20 chapters. Scholarship awards for the winning teams have increased to $12,000, with the help of our title sponsor 

Exxon Mobil.

The Competition’s location rotates yearly and is supported by a local chapter and held at a local university.

Since 1991, LOT students from as far away as the United Kingdom and South Africa have met annually to learn from the best minds in the world to explore their career and college opportunities.

The Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) Annual Conference is an intensive sun-up to sun-down challenge designed to help minority youth learn how to maximize their potential in both the short and long terms. Much more than a series of inspirational speeches, the conference will give LOT students from across the country and around the globe the tools they need to develop a vision, develop action plans, and measure progress towards their goals.

The Leaders of Tomorrow Program welcomes professionals from various industries or graduate students to share their experience and expertise with our student leaders. If you are interested in serving as a guest speaker, please the LOT Director for more information.
