APRIL 1 DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION FOR ASTEF GRANTS

LEADERSHIP SEMINAR WEEKEND

31 participants and 10 committee members gathered at the Stonebriar Sheraton in Frisco over the weekend of February 22-24. It was an activity-filled weekend as participants explored their Leadership strengths and how to use them in DKG and their professional and personal lives. The committee chose Rosie the Riveter as their symbol of a woman leader. Activities started Friday evening with an opening where participants introduced each other in one minute speeches. The committee members shared their “Riveting Moments” throughout the weekend. This involved telling personal accounts of what leadership has meant to the committee members. Saturday was full and ended with the teams competing in a leadership GooseChase. Sunday everyone celebrated the completion of the weekend with a Leadership Ceremony.
The Leadership Seminar participants and committee members would like to thank ASTEF and ASTEF donors for a meaningful weekend.
