Glenn's Gang

We all know that when you get state officer teams from 6 different states together for NLCSO that a gnome named Glenn is bound to be smashed, right?!

Okay, maybe you're a little confused?  That's probably a good thing.  It got your attention though, didn't it?! :)

National Leadership Conference for State Officers (NLCSO) was held June 19-22 in Aurora for state officers from Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and Colorado.  We were given the chance to identify strengths and weaknesses as a group, learn advanced interpersonal communication strategies and presentation and delivery techniques.

NLCSO also strengthened our bonds as individual teams and allowed us to form new bonds with other teams.  Some of the greatest people I've ever met were attendees of NLCSO!  From dancing outside in the parking lot using someone's car for a stereo system to watching Smokey and the Bandit, those 3 days are full of memories that will never be forgotten!

Now, for the explanation of this gnome tidbit from before...whichever team put forth the most effort each session was awarded Glenn (the gnome) to keep until the next session.  Unfortunately, Iowa broke the gnome~no further comments on this subject will be made at this point. :P
No gnomes were actually harmed in the participation of NLCSO.
