The 2014 Programs are ready for Kick-Off!  

The 2014 participants are here and they are a dynamic and talented group! Last Thursday, the Puget Sound Leadership Discovery class gathered together to Jumpstart their program at the Mayflower Park Hotel in Seattle. It was an exciting session where they got to meet their cohorts, network and have fun! Kick-Off for Puget Sound and Portland begins next week.

 

The Navigation Class had their Kick-Off session at the end of February at Cedarbrook Lodge. The participants had an unbelievable experience where they got to meet their executive coaches,participate in team building activities and listen to amazing speakers.

 

If you are interested to learn more about the program or know of someone who would be a great fit, visit the EDI website for information on how to apply for next year.
