(Debate Acad\u00e9mico de L\u00edderes Estudiantiles)<\/span><\/p>\n Now, the work wasn\u2019t just as easy as stating those words for all the directors of DALE. They were faced against many trials along the way; some of which they should have never have surpassed, particularly due to their age. Although, as their talents and dedication will repeatedly show, they did indeed make this summit possible. While perhaps many students backed out along the way, the conference was a success in the end. The organization was the first to become a trilingual debate organization in the continent by adding a French committee.
