ANNOUNCING the 2010 Great Lakes Recreation Leaders Lab May 14 - 19 at Lions Bear Lake Camp Retreat and Conference Center (located just north of Lapeer, MI.).
Here are details on our sessions (to see our brochure, visit the To Register page)!
General Session (keynote):
Transforming Talk!, a series of sessions exploring the ways in which we communicate with each other. These sessions will provide tools for talking, discussion of our communication styles and methods to transform our interactions with others. Special guests, activities and humor all join the mix! It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
We are thrilled to say that the General Session leader for the 2010 Lab is Martha Ballou. Martha is a long-time member of GLRLL and has provided leadership to the organization through her numerous terms on the board. Her skills and contributions have been recognized through the Chester Graham and Jack Worthington awards.
