Constitutional Rights Foundation Orange County

Held in partnership with the Orange County Department of Education, this conference links Orange County high school students directly with the world of business. Each year, at a local university, over 1,300 students attend workshops given by local business leaders on topics ranging from corporate and entrepreneurial business and technology to managing credit and preparing for a successful interview.
