WELCOME to our new Newsletter! Plans are to prepare four newsletters each year. Issues will include a brief review of what our classes are doing; Board of Director news; Committee updates; and Event news.
A new feature will be the opportunity for you - our alumni - to share
your news, job changes, family news, relocations, etc. Also to advertise openings in your organization and to alert others to exciting opportunities. In short - we want this to be YOUR tool to better network with each other. Please send articles as well as suggestions and information, to me at
mft501c3@gmail.com.

"Class 11" Off to a Great Start
|
"Class 11" (2018-2019)
began in September, meeting in the beautiful SWIF conference room in Hutchinson. Our topics were "Understanding your Leadership Style" (Myers-Briggs Assessment) and Looking at the County's History, particularly that of Hutchinson. Because of remodeling at the Museum, we were unable to visit - but had knowlegable speakers, including Jim Fahey's Historic Hutchinson bus tour, Sheriff Rehmann's story of a lynching near Glencoe in 1896, and George Quast's entertaining historic presentation.
|
Upcoming Classes:
November - Plato "Visionary Leadership"
December - Hutchinson "Strengths Finder"
|
|
In October the class met in Winsted, shown here reviewing "Committees That Work." We heard how Winstock started and how it's grown, had lunch and a tour at Carlson's Apple Orchard; learned how the Winsted Arts Council began and what they have brought to Winsted; and toured Tetra Pack, seeing how they manufacture stainless steel food processing equipment.

Miller Mfg., MITGI, GSL School, United Way of McLeod County; Glencoe Area Chamber of Commerce, Cedar Crest, Rice Companies, Fahey Sales, Crow River Habitat for Humanity, Plato Woodwork, City of Hutchinson, Customer Elation, Twin Cities & Western Railroad, U of M Extension, and McLeod County.

This year, we have added
"Strengths Finder" to the topics within the leadership program. If we offered this class as a half-day session to alumni and/or to the public, would you be interested in attending?
Are there other leadership skill topics you would be interested in?
