******************************************
The dates for LS 2008 will be Saturday, September 13 through Thursday, September 18. This also means that we will be changing location from OSU-Newark to Salt Fork Resort/Conference Center.
The major reason for the change is to help next year’s participants stay connected immediately after LeaderShape is finished. You all have such great energy and passion at the end of Day 6, but then you leave for the summer and may lose some of your momentum. By moving the Institute to September, we’re hoping to tap into that energy and passion right as classes begin in the fall, and to help you stay connected to your vision, your family cluster, and all the other things you took away from LeaderShape.
Because of this date change, I want to re-open the application for Marketing/Selections and On-Site Coordinator. We have received some outstanding applications already, but if you were unable to participate on the steering committee due to the June dates, but are now available for the September dates, please consider applying. The application is due Sept. 7 and you can get one my emailing Jen.
The time commitment for Marketing/Selections will be similar to before, roughly September through May. The time commitment for On-Site Coordinators will be extended from September 2007 through September 2008. The busier times will be in winter and spring quarters, while fall will be much less time-intensive and focused mostly on preparation for winter quarter selections.
Please let me know what questions you have about any of this. I am happy to chat about our new dates, responsibilities of the steering committee roles, or anything else that’s on your mind.
Thanks!
