Utah Emerging Leaders Forum
The UELF Pledge of Statesmanship
I solemnly pledge to uphold the principles of character, integrity, and service in all my endeavors.
I shall strive to conduct myself above reproach, placing principle before ambition, character before influence, and service before self.
I shall place the welfare of my community and country above personal interest, and the common good above partisan allegiance.
I shall treat those with whom I disagree with dignity and respect, recognizing that true leadership demands humility, civility, and moral courage.
Above all, I pledge to lead by example, to exercise influence with responsibility, and to pursue not merely the position of a leader, but the character of a statesman.
