Thanks to the North Dakota Jaycees, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Tulsa this weekend for three TERRIFIC days of training, mentorship and interaction.
This is the first year the State Presidents' Retreat and the Leadership Academy have been combined into one event, held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This meant is was not only an opportunity to interact with other state presidents, but also to get to know three of my chapter presidents better. Jessica from Mohall, Cindy from Williston and Pam from Fargo joined me for the weekend!
The ND team had a great time getting to know our NVP, Travis Ahlquist from Minnesota! On Friday night we ran all over downtown Tulsa on a photo scavenger hunt, and on Saturday we went out to a great dinner and had some wonderful conversations.
As always, the trainings were wonderful. National President John Weber did a wonderful job of putting together strong and useful programming. All of the NVPs, along with our State Presidents Coach and the national service center employees, gave terrific presentations from all areas of Jaycees. I definitely left feeling inspired and informed.
Of course I also made some great friendships with the other state presidents! Who needs sleep when you've got terrific company, right?
There was also a challenge from Raj, the Foundation President...my members will definitely be hearing more about that!!!
