I was recently accepted into a program called Leadership Weld County.  This is a program that is hosted through the Greeley Chamber of Commerce in order to develop leaders in the community and educate them about our area a little bit more.  It has thus far been a great experience and I am looking forward to the October outing. It meets once a month until May and we do various activities, team building, a community project and visit area organizations and businesses.

Last month in September, we got to go to a Challenge Course. We played all sorts of physical and mental games and got to know each other better. I even jumped off a 30 foot pole to a trapeze bar! It was scary and cool. We also did a personality test called DISC. I was somewhat surprised with the results, but it was fun.

My friend Kelly from work was in the LWC class last year and she encouraged me to join and my supervisor at work concurred. It is somewhat expensive (about $500) but I received a scholarship and work paid for the rest. My other friend Jamie is in the class this year so it is fun to spend time with her as well.  Here is a short news article about this new leadership class.
