Spring Board Training Forum!


Spring Board Trainning Forum. Some very serious buisness.

Hello friends.

On the may long weekend this year, participants from all across Canada gathered in Ottawa for a weekend of inspiration, education, fun, and friends.

The theme this year was "points, lines, shapes and planes - the building blocks of juniour branch".

We all began as points and connected ourselves through lines by setting goals for the weekends and talking about our chapters. We began to see that other chapters deal with the same things we do, and strengthened our connections on a national level. We began to see shapes emerging as we started to think about where our problems come from and why things have happened the way they have in the past.

As our weekend drew to a close, we were all tired, but we had reached a new plane. All the participants realized their own leadership capabilities, and left refreshed, ready to take their new knowledge and resources back to their chapters.
Everyone was sad to leave their new friends, but excited to tell everyone about how great SBTF was.

As NJRs, we want to thank all the participants for being as awesome as they were and for making our vision of SBTF come true!

We hope that some great stories from SBTF have gotten back to the chapters, and people are already looking forward to next year!

Lots of love
Kathy and Alex
