I was invited to write another "Facilitator's Corner" piece for the Leadership McLean County alumni newsletter:
A New E-Birth of Freedom
Last time I posed the question “New governor?”, and now we (and Letterman) have the answer. This had a major impact on LMC.
Government Day’s visit with officials and Capitol tour are part of LMC’s earliest roots. This year, though, the governor’s state budget address threatened to shut down Capitol access. Day chairs Joann Schuster and Kelly TenHaken-Freeman not only juggled several alternate plans, but seized opportunity when the address was postponed. We ended up having the Capitol almost entirely to ourselves!
LMC’s e-creativity continues to respond to these challenging economic times. Tonya Kaberna snapped over 40 photos of Government Day (posted on the LMC Facebook page, which now has over 60 members as well as long-awaited photos and bios of LMC ’09). Chamber Staff Brian Davis also introduced online evaluations, which have both saved time and added depth in response quality.
Business Ownership Day chairs Elizabeth Binning, Amy McFarland and Tony Petersen used ISU’s College of Business Building and faculty to cover the topics of integrity and ethics. Average score of 8.60 is high praise, and just ahead of the October day featuring husbands John Binning and Michael McFarland (sorry, boys).
