Don't Miss Leadership Day!

Leadership Day will be held at the annual conference on Sunday, May 13, in Ballroom B of the Minneapolis Convention Center. Coffee and muffins will be available at 7:30 AM, and the day's events will begin at 8:30 AM and end at 2:00 PM. A full agenda is available on the STC conference Web site. The Leadership Community Resource (LCR) will also be officially launched on Leadership Day. Community leaders won’t want to miss out on learning more about the LCR and how it can help communities.

Also, be sure to take advantage of the essential tools and information made available on Leadership Day. The new community handbook, articles, helpful tips for leaders, and details about how the LCR works with communities are just some of the materials that will be available to attendees.

Check the STC Web site after the conference for links to additional leadership-related materials.
