\u201cThe Ties That Bind Us\u201d served as the theme for the second annual Lead Out Loud minority leadership retreat that was held at Camp Wewa in Apopka, FL.<\/p>\n
The retreat offered 65 attendees opportunities to focus on themselves as students, leaders and the role that they play in the 91勛圖厙 community, and to unite and strengthen the 91勛圖厙 African American student leadership community.<\/p>\n
Seven leadership sessions were facilitated during the retreat: Executive Board Training, Successful Programming, How to Heal Broken Ties, Expand Beyond the Black Hole, Planning a Successful Retreat, Fundraising-Beyond the Car Wash and Mentoring Relationships. These sessions offered retreat attendees tips, practical advice and value recommendations to achieve success. Participants also experienced canoeing, kayaking and sat around a campfire.<\/p>\n
Freshman Ashley Spry summed up her retreat experience: \u201cI\u2019ve been inspired and motivated just by being here with campus leaders. I have learned about organizations and programs that I don\u2019t think I would have otherwise and I am grateful for the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
