LAKELAND | Southeastern University is gearing up for its annual fundraising leadership event next week, featuring former Alaska governor Sarah Palin as star attraction.

Palin, 49, the 2008 Republican candidate for vice president, will be at the 2013 National Leadership Forum along with a list of other speakers. She will talk about leadership.

Brian Carroll, vice president for university advancement, said ticket sales are going well, but there still are some available. The forum has changed over the years, he said, and has become an event that is talked about in the university network.

Word has gotten out about the event, he said, and other schools have approached SEU administrators to learn more about the model.

“We are in our seventh year doing this,” he said. “It’s become, well, not routine, but we have a pattern. We’ve made a lot of course corrections over the years.”

The forum is geared toward leaders in the business, professional and church communities.

“The main purpose of it is the heart of our culture,” Carroll said. “It is a culture to serve, and that extends from our students out into the com­munity. In the past year, we had 33,000 service hours in the community. That is unbelievable.”

Ticket information is online at seuleadershipforum.com. Forum tickets cover both days of the event and are sold in four categories: $450 for non-reserved tickets; $650 for a reserved ticket; $1,000 for a VIP ticket and $1,500 for an executive ticket.
