"The opportunity for our directors to spend a session focused on their work relations, trust and communications was an important extension of our work at the executive management level. Staff continue to volunteer that they draw upon the lessons in both their personal and professional lives and they look forward to continuing to work with CEO staff to mature their collaborative skills."
