September 2019 Educational Resources Update

Leadership Cayuga

Orientation – Once again this year we took the incoming Class of 2020 to the Presbyterian Event and Retreat Center (formally known at the Case Mansion) for a full day Orientation. This new class of twenty-two engaged community members took the task of “getting to know” each other seriously and got right to work. We learned about best networking practices, heard about lessons in leadership, gained practical public speaking skills and learned to see the community with new eyes. All while being absolutely treated to a home cooked breakfast AND lunch by Rev. Banu Moore.

Day two of Orientation Weekend brought is to the beautiful campus of Wells College in Aurora. We heard 10,000 years of history in 7 minutes from Aurora Historian Linda ____, learned about the history of Wells College and it’s commitment to Sustatainability from Marian Brown and then got right into exploring our personality types with Kevin Miles of Wells College.
