About  LeaderShape®
LeaderShape® is a community of individuals working to create a world that does not exist right now except in moments. 

The world we want to experience is where everyone leads with integrity and embraces living in possibility. Where anything is possible. Where everyone sees their own gifts and finds ways to use them for the greater good. We want to see our best selves. 

A few men in the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity started LeaderShape® in the early 1980’s. Through many conversations in the basement of their headquarters, a vision was created to develop a week long immersion experience to help the men of that fraternity become better leaders. In the process of doing so, they realized that leadership is not just for Greek men, but also for everyone. With the development of the LeaderShape® Institute™ in 1986 and subsequent invitations to non-Greek participants, the decision was made to start a unique not-for-profit called LeaderShape® so that the program would not be seen as only for Greek students. They succeeded.

Ever since that period of time, LeaderShape® has grown through the recommendations of those that have participated in our programs. They shared their experience and invited others to participate as well. 

We are “about” bringing our vision to reality. We invite you to join us.

LeaderShape 2017
Thank you all!

Picture
Sydoney was one of the few selected by the PVCC Student Life Center to have the opportunity to attend LeaderShape for spring 2017.  When Syd found out she was selected, she could not believe it.  To apply for LeaderShape you have to fill out paperwork and complete an interview with the selecting committee.  Syd was very nervous and anxious while waiting even though she did her best and she finally was selected and very grateful.  Retreat Week:  Sunday, May 21st - Friday, May 26th, 2017.  The retreat will take place at CGCC and ASU Polytechnic.  She wants to thank Mike Ho for selecting her and allowing her this unique and extra special opportunity to attend LeaderShape as a student representative for PVCC.

Mike, you are truly amazing and so supportive of me and I am very blessed and sincerely thankful to have you and everyone at PVCC Student Life involved with me and my student life while I attend PVCC.  I owe a lot to you, Mike Ho!  Thank you so very much!  Thank you also, Rowdy Duncan, for all your love and support!


Thank You Mike Ho!

My Amazing Family Cluster We Are Groot!

Picture
I was blessed with such a special and outstanding Family Cluster at LeaderShape. 
I love you also much! I had an amazing time with you.
 I will hold on to my memories with you forever. 
We had the best mother, and Cluster leader of all Ila Washington. 

Ila I love you so much! Thank you Ila for all your hard work, love and support.
 You made We Are Groot so specail, and we had the best leader to guide us.
What a good looking group of such wonderful leaders.
I loved doing skits with you guys, and playing Tiffany's Grandmother.
I wish, and hope all your dreams come true.
Don't give up, and know you are loved.

Keep It Sexy!

We are Groot Skits

Syd said this was such an amazing experience and she got very close to many others while they too were attending LeaderShape.  Syd learned a lot while at LeaderShape, but Syd found the relationships and bonds of fellowship and love to be the most rewarding.  Syd had a very rough day why she was away at LeaderShape, when she learned of an amazing woman’s passing away, who happened to be a very special friend of Syd’s family.  The loss was extra hard because she was away from home, but with the love and support of the group Syd made it through the loss.  I was very upset to have lost such an extraordinary human from the world, Ms. Windy West.  I had just seen her the weekend before LeaderShape and she appeared to be her fantastic self.  She was so awesomely amazing and a great leader herself; she was a kind, beautiful, inspiring human being.  She will be missed and will always remain close to my heart as well as and in the heart of UZA.  Our prayers and hearts go out to her family and the multitude of friends she had in the entertainment world.  You will always be carried with us, Windy.  It was such a fine privilege and honor to have the opportunity to meet you as well as to work with you and to be able to call you a friend.

Hold on to this experience

Picture
Syd learned at LeaderShape how to be a successful leader and to use it for good and to make a real difference with positive social change.  Syd also learned life can be short and is very precious.  Relationships are so very special and you should make the best of those relationships while you have them, before they may be gone.  You really never know when you might lose them.  True friendship is difficult to find, but not impossible to have and you need to nourish it to keep it alive and healthy.  Humans are social beings and we need each other for healthy existences.  Dearly hold on to your friendships and never let go.  MAKE TIME FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVE ONES, FOR NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT!  To show up and share time is very important and means so much for everyone involved.  Make time to be involved in the lives of those you really care about.  Friendships are not just one-sided and only about you; they are about both you and your friend and that means giving of yourself as well as receiving of your friends.  Please enjoy life and be there for others, especially your loved ones and your friends.  Make new friends for they can last forever!

Getting Down at LeaderShape with Mo!
Mo had some pretty good dance moves.

LeaderShape know how to party!
So much fun, and helps keep the energy up!

Picture
Syd also learned to be a great leader is to be selfless, it is not about you, and it is about your team.  The leader is successful when their team is successful.  The worst type of leader is the one that is selfish and usually they care more about themselves then they care about their team.  These leaders use their power for selfishness or even for evil and often abuse their powers to get personal gain.  I have seen this type of leadership a lot and it has even happened to me in my life more times than I would like to recall.  Greed, pride, and power take over and the leader miss uses their leadership and the sad thing is that unaware followers will blindly follow the leader and never even know what is really going on.  I want to lead with integrity and be the best leader that I can and lead with my heart and my values for the benefit of my entire group’s success.  I want to build a beloved community and use positive social change for the betterment of my community as well as for the whole world around me.  I want to use my leadership for good and for positivity to assist others; to build them up so that we can all help ourselves as we also help enrich those around us that we come into contact with to build a beautiful, caring, resourceful, beloved community.

LeaderShape Fun

Eating Time

Picture
Sydoney performed several different activities that bonded her with all kinds of different people from many different schools, backgrounds, countries, and beliefs.  Syd had a blast and learned so much from everyone and everything they all did.  Syd also worked on her dream while there at LeaderShape; she wants to own her own haunted house, similar to the one that was in Utah, the legendary Rocky Point Haunted House.  She wants a haunted house that will help people and that will provide positive social changes and will teach youth and adults several various skills.  She wants a haunted house that is more than just a haunted house; one that will truly be a family for those that work in it, work for it, and for those that will attend it as well.  She wants to help others and to make a real positive difference in the haunted attraction industry for employees, actors, and even for patrons of the haunt.  Haunted attraction actors love what they do so much that they will put up with a lot, even when it is unfair and even wrong, and there is room for a lot of improvement for everyone.

Some of LeaderShape Activities

Syd learned so much and when it was time to go home it was hard to say goodbye and leave all those she had formed friendships with.  She hopes to stay in touch with her new LeaderShape family and some of them might even come to visit at some of UZA’s events and maybe even join her on this evolving mission to change the world for greatness and success.

We did it guys we graduated LeaderShape 2017!

WHY COMICS?

Some of you may be asking yourself, "Why would librarians be encouraging people to read comics? Don't they only like seriousbooks?" The truth is librarians love reading of all kinds!
Comics and graphic novels can encourage literacy and boost reading skills in many ways.

  • Images provide the context necessary to help build vocabulary for ESL & reluctant readers
  • The slow pace of analyzing images and pausing in between panels encourages time to reflect and build reading comprehension
  • Colorful graphics and exciting story lines can captivate attention span & interest
  • Reinforces Common Core standards by reinforcing visual and verbal literacy
  • There are now graphic novels & comics that are creative, enjoyable pieces of literature for all ages

CASA GRANDE

Casa Grande Comic Con runs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday. It’s free and open to all ages.

The event is a chance for children and adults to don a superhero cape and mask and visit the library, said Youth Services Librarian and event organizer David Brown.

It’s expected to attract plenty of Deadpools, Batmans, Harry Potters and other characters.

Last year, more than 400 people attended the event and this year, with expanded offerings, organizers expect a greater turnout.

“This year’s event is going to be bigger and better,” Brown said.

Among the events this year are:

n Drawing demonstrations by comic book artists;

n Makeup tutorials by United Zombies of America;

n Interaction with Tucson’s Copper Queen Roller Derby Team;

n Information and giveaways by Casa Grande Paranormal Investigators;

n Professional cosplay costume workshops hosted by ThermoCosplay;

n Martial arts demonstrations; and

n Costume contests and raffles.

The event aims to celebrate all fictional characters from popular stories, not just comic book or graphic novel heroes.

“Libraries across America are becoming hubs for comic-con type gatherings for people interested in characters from graphic novels, comics, film, television and popular culture,” Brown said.

Some library patrons are fiction fans and travel to San Diego for large comic conventions or to Phoenix or Tucson for mid-sized events, but Brown said many don’t have the means to attend out-of-town gatherings.

“We wanted to provide them with a similar experience,” he said.  

Casa Grande Comic Con is the library’s end-of-the-summer finale and signals the conclusion of its summer reading program, in which children earn prizes for reading for a specified amount of time every day.

Costumes are optional.


Vista Grande Library is at 1556 N. Arizola Road.

Zombies on the prowl


Posted: Tuesday, July 12, 2016 8:29 am

By MELISSA ST. AUDE Staff Writer

CASA GRANDE

Zombies will be on the prowl Saturday in Casa Grande.

Complete with blood and bruises, the living dead will take their place among the superheroes, ghost hunters, roller queens and popular comic book and sci-fi characters roaming about the Vista Grande Library Saturday as the second annual Casa Grande Comic Con gets underway.

United Zombies of America, a Phoenix-based professional entertainment group, plans to offer a “Bruises, Blisters and Gore” workshop during the event, teaching others how, with a bit of makeup, they too can transform into any type of eerie and spine-chilling  — or cute and lovable — character.

For Sydoney Banks, founder of United Zombies of America, being a zombie isn’t all about blood and gore.

“We are not just a monster horror group,” she said. “We do many things and they may often involve monster-type characters and horror. We really do so many things — photography, makeup, videos, classes, panels, workshops, improvisation, security, volunteering, social media, advertising and more.”

The family-friendly group’s motto is “The family that scares together stays together.”

They’ll host a makeup class Saturday at 3:15 p.m. at the Vista Grande Library.

“This is a great beginner class for those interested in makeup for any character or event,” Banks said.

United Zombies of America will have a booth at Casa Grande Comic Con offering information about the group. UZA’s Ray Digger “The Grave Digger” will wander throughout the event, offering free photos with participants.

The group, which was founded in 2012, is no stranger to comic conventions. They’ve taken part in the Tempe, Apache Junction and Yuma Library comic con events as well as the Amazing Arizona Con, Mad Monster and various thespian festivals throughout the year.

This year is their first participating in Casa Grande’s Comic Con.

“UZA loves doing various types of cons, especially library cons, because we love giving back to the community,” she said. “We support anti-bullying and paying-it-forward.”  

She said people love zombies for many reasons, including the realism and the feeling that “it is more apt to happen futuristically to humans.”

“Of all the monsters there are, zombies might be the most realistic because they tend to occur from diseases, viruses, toxic spills, mutations, science experiments, attempting to reanimate the dead and more,” she said.

With recent books, comics, movies, games, video games, cartoons, toys, clothing and television shows that portray zombies, the monsters are enjoying a surge in popularity.

And while some enjoy being frightened by the characters, others enjoy doing the scaring.

Banks fell in love with zombies after performing at the “Haunting Haunted House” in 2009 and 2010 with her family and friends, Jess Acridge, Casey Corbin, Kristen Cline and others. UZA was started by the group soon after to help Banks explore her dreams, help others with theirs and to provide entertainment and fun, she said.

Many of its members are performers who appreciate the lore, makeup and creepiness of the living dead and some have received theatrical training from various organizations such as Disney, Universal Studios and professional haunted house experiences.

The group performs at events throughout the year.

UZA specializes in makeup and special effects and has its own live interactive game, “Zombie Attack,” which travels throughout the state.

But as a child, Banks was never intrigued by monsters or horror and didn’t tend to watch horror movies.

“I did love Halloween, the costumes and decorations even more than the candy,” she said.

Banks was 15 when she was assigned as the lead zombie in her first haunted house acting roll. In that role, she learned about monsters, horror, haunted houses and other characters.

That year, she won the season’s top actress award for the haunted house and since then has participated in other professional haunted houses each year, including “Rob Zombies Great American Nightmare” in 2014.  

Someday, she’d like to open her own haunted attraction that would be open throughout the entire year.

The group is family friendly and has members of all ages. For more information or to join, visit www.united-zombies-of-america.com or visit the booth at Casa Grande Comic Con.

the Casa Grande Dispatch Newspaper an article about Casa Grande Comic Con.


 Melissa St. Aude Staff Writer & Valley Life Editor
Casa Grande Dispatch Newspaper Q & A UZA Founder Sydoney A.A. Banks.


 Q. Tell me a little bit about United Zombies of America - what's it all
 about and how did it start?              

A.  United Zombies of America (UZA) is a professional entertainment group that officially began in the spring of 2012.  We are actors/performers, artists, educators, jacks of many trades, so to say.  We are NOT just a monster/horror group, but we do many things and they may often involve monster-type characters and/or horror.  We really do so many things: photography, makeup, videos, classes/panels/workshops, improvisation, security, volunteering, social media, advertising and even more.  We support Anti-bulling and Paying It Forward.  We are a family friendly (all ages) group and we believe that “Families that Scare together Stay together!” UZA began because Sydoney Banks, founder of UZA, fell in love with horror and zombies through performing at “The Haunting Haunted House” in 2009/2010 with her family, Jess Acridge, his family, Casey Corbin, Kristen Cline, her family and others.  They all helped her find her passion and her purpose in life.  UZA began so she could explore her dreams and to assist others with theirs and to provide entertainment and fun for all. 

 Q. Why are you participating in Casa Grande's Comic Con?

 Did you take part last year as well? 

                                 Do you do other comic conventions as well?                                                                                                                             

A. This is our first time to participate in Casa Grande’s Comic Con.  Sydoney found it on Facebook and jumped at the chance to be involved with it.  UZA loves doing various types of cons, especially library comic cons.  UZA loves giving back to the community.  We have done the Tempe, Apache Junction, and Yuma Library Comic Cons as well as Amazing Arizona Con, Mad Monster, YumaCon and more. 

 Q. What can people expect when they see your organization at Casa Grande's Comic Con? I understand you'll be doing makeup demonstrations? 
Will zombies wander around the event as well?                         

A. UZA will be doing a makeup and SFX class at 3:15pm called “Bruises, Blisters, and Gore!”  This is a great beginner class for those interested in makeup for any kind of character or event.  We even had someone from a group that does emergency drill events come to get more information on how to do makeup on accident participants.

UZA will have a booth with our information and some other UZA favorites as well.  We will have UZA’s Ray Digger The Grave Digger wandering the comic con for free photos with any interested attendees.  Sydoney will have her cameras ready to take the free photos/videos and she will put them on Facebook after the comic con is over and after she edits them, so this may take her a day or two.  Be sure to get a flyer from Sydoney telling where you can retrieve your photo from and where you can share your own photos with us. 

 Q. What is it about zombies that people find so entertaining? 
Can you tell me a little bit about why you are interested in zombies?

 
A. Some of the reasons people may be interested in zombies could be that of all the monsters there are, they might be the most realistic, because they tend to occur from diseases, viruses, toxic spills, mutations, science experiments, attempting to reanimate the dead, and more.  So maybe we feel that it is more apt to happen futuristically to humans.  Haitian voodoo zombies have even been reported and written about.  There are books, comics, movies, games, video games, cartoons, toys, clothing, and television shows that portray zombies for our entertainment.  Some people enjoy being frightened while others enjoy frightening them.  This year on July 4, AMC with Greg Nicotero opened, “The Walking Dead Experience” at Universal Studios in California.  They created it so people could feel what it is like to face zombies at specific places from the show.  Sydoney really wants to go and experience this attraction for herself.
Sydoney never really felt anything for any monsters or horror growing up and she did not know much about any of them either, because she did not grow up watching them.  She did love Halloween, the costumes and decorations, even more than the candy. 

During her first haunted house acting role she began learning more about monsters, horror, haunted houses, and cons and she continues to keep learning more about the entire industry to this day.  She was only 15 years old and assigned as the lead zombie, graveyard lead and trainer for the graveyard and all the zombies.  She even won “Actress of the Season” for 2009/2010.  She has done other haunted houses each year since then including, “Rob Zombies Great American Nightmare” in 2014.  She now loves zombies and working in haunted houses.  She hopes to run her own haunted attraction.  She would love for it to be open throughout the entire year. 

Horror is great, but UZA is so much more!  

Please come by and see us at Casa Grande’s Comic Con
 on Saturday, July 19, 2016.

Thank you for interviewing UZA!  We would love to meet all of you and get a photo with you and Ray Digger at the Comic Con.

UZA will be doing a makeup and SFX class at 3:15pm called “Bruises, Blisters, and Gore!”  This is a great beginner class for those interested in makeup for any kind of character or event.  We even had someone from a group that does emergency drill events come to get more information on how to do makeup on accident participants.

UZA will have a booth with our information and some other UZA favorites as well.  We will have UZA’s Ray Digger The Grave Digger wandering the comic con for free photos with any interested attendees.  Sydoney will have her cameras ready to take the free photos/videos and she will put them on Facebook after the comic con is over and after Syd edits them, so this may take her a day or two.  Be sure to get a flyer from Sydoney telling where you can retrieve your photo from and where
 you can share your own photos with us.
