LEADS 2010

What a privilege to represent GFWC of MO as the Leadership Education And Development Seminar (LEADS) candidate at this year’s GFWC International Convention! Imagine networking with 50 amazing women from each of the states and Aruba! The excitement, synergy of ideas, and new friendships provided such enthusiasm to strengthen GFWC on all levels. Many of the GFWC International Officers visited with us during the LEADS Reception in President Ditto’s hotel suite and presented during our training. The training was filled with information about GFWC’s history, structure, strengthening Clubs internal and external relations, purposeful programming, successful reporting, benefits of belonging, membership recruitment, nurturing leadership, conflict resolution and sharing best practices. I can’t wait to share the numerous ideas with you!
And a big thank you for the many ideas I was able to share from those of you in Missouri who have done so much in your communities and with your members. Hopefully, we can incorporate a state level LEADS training! Currently I’m working on power points that you will have access to share these great ideas with your club. Please consider applying to be next year’s LEADS candidate. It will be a life changing experience! Thank you for investing in LEADS.
