Bryce
Kassik, a member of the Fillmore County Development Corporation (FCDC)
Leadership Committee gave opening remarks to the class and explained that the
Odegeo Project is a leadership class organized by the Leadership Development
Committee of the FCDC and history of the program. The sessions give the
participants an opportunity to see many business, cultural and political
aspects of Fillmore County as well as a chance to improve their leadership
skills. This is the 15th
Odegeo leadership class.
Rhonda
Stokebrand, a member of the FCDC Leadership Committee had class members
introduce themselves and then did an activity where everyone had an opportunity
to learn more about their classmates.
The group “Followed the Leader” to the Ohiowa Auditorium where Carol Kapperman
spoke to the class about the history of the auditorium and the community
leadership involved in several Ohiowa
projects.
Megan
Hinrichs, Thayer County Healthy Communities Coalition, was the speaker for the
session. She used “Real Colors” and
hands on learning tools to help the class identify their personal
characteristics. Recognizing that people
have different personal characteristics can help a person be a better leader
and work with a group.
The
class members and FCDC Leadership Development Committee members had time for
getting acquainted while they enjoyed dinner prepared by the St. John’s
Lutheran Church ladies. Geneva State
Bank sponsored the dinner.
The
next session of the Odegeo…Leadership
for Fillmore County will be held in October and concentrate on the history and
tourism of the County.
