New Leadership Class Begins September 2009

Margot Helphand, Sarri Gilman, and Carl Zapora welcomed the new leadership class at a 2-day leadership retreat at the Hampton Inn in Lynnwood. Margot led the class through 2-day of exercises focused on learning more about individual leadership styles. Problem solving, communication, and relationship building were taken to a new level as we watched the class breathe life and meaning into the work we call "leadership".
