December Meeting

Join us for our next meeting on December 8th at the Rainier Eagles Lodge from noon to 1:00 PM. We will have professional leadership class during our December meeting.

Ashley Schaer, Visionary Strategist, ICF-Certified Executive Coach & Business Consultant, will conduct a 30-minute Advanced Leadership Training Classes during our regular meetings as part of our Professional Leadership Series hosted by Fibre Federal Credit Union.

December Topic: Strategic Planning

A key role of the leader is to set strategic direction. This training gives you a framework to ask key strategic questions for your organization. We also look at why strategic planning also fails and how you can help make sure that your organization implements it strategic priorities to achieve results.
