Greetings from Perham! On our last day here, we woke up to a chilly morning with a gorgeous sunrise in the most welcoming town in Minnesota. Our morning started off at the Grand Stay Hotel before we made our way back to the Perham Community Center for our morning debriefing. The excitement started to build as we talked about the final countdown to our Croatia seminar. We reviewed dress expectations for the schedule and all the final details before we depart Minneapolis on February 17th – a mere three weeks away!
We had a great presentation on Followership by Eriks, one of my favorite takeaways was the need for followers to feel valued in order to join a leader.
The class then voted in Adam Ulbricht and Sarah Dornink to ex-officio represent MARL Class IX on the board. We covered final preparations for the auction at graduation and discussed our class plans to purchase items for the auction. Jeff Vetsch, MARL Class VIII, gave an impactful presentation on the Grow Your Own model through the Southwest Initiative which covered some needs rural communities have such as accessible childcare, more jobs than workers, and working with children in poverty. Our time together came to a close as we did our group reflection as a class. Many new and interesting perspectives were gained this week!
