Regional Officer Corner
As a leader, Susan Longo recognizes the individual strengths of team members. She encourages the "dreamers" to imagine the future; allows the "architect" to build a plan; urges the "mediator" to collaborate ideas; and supports the "workhorse's" determination. Susan believes a goal, backed by honors in action, is destined for success.
So the end of the semester is winding down and summer is in sight. Keep your Team's drive revved up by staying in touch over the summer with these three tips:
- Picnic & Plan your College Project
- Breakfast & Brainstorm Honors in Action Themes
- Take a Team Building Road Trip
