Kansas City Regional Leadership Retreat - Agenda is Set
6501 Greenway Parkway Suite 103-640 Scottsdale, AZ 85254 :: Phone (520) 829-3112
The agenda is set. The halls are rented. MCDC National is ready for the first of its Regional Leadership Retreats to be held in Kansas City, MO! Are you ready?
This retreat will be a real experience. Not only will there be a day-long nuts and bolts training session on Saturday, February 2nd, but on Friday, February 1st, there will be an event open to the public in the city where La Raza has worked tirelessly to force the removal of our own Minuteman Frances Semler from, of all things, the Parks Board, simply because of her volunteer status with MCDC.
Regionally, the states whose state and chapter leadership should make every effort to attend are: Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana. The conference is open to all MCDC volunteers, whether in leadership or not. For the leaders in other regions who want a head start on the workshop training, join us in Kansas City!
