    Thank you for helping to train CENTRL leaders over the past several years! We strive to make our curriculum the most resilient it can be; to bounce back from anything! Therefore, we invite YOU to join ALL speakers, tour guides and trainers of the recent CENTRL classes to help us do three main things: 

    1. Create a THROUGHLINE for the entire curriculum from start to finish
    2. Discuss SUCCESSION planning for your topic area
    3. Consider how to build RESILIENT leaders with Roderick Logan 

    This dynamic, interactive two days won't be complete without your unique perspective! Julie Lancaster from Flagstaff will facilitate our time together guided by her philosophy of working with groups who are up for the adventure of leadership and believe in creating real change. Our Keynote Speaker, Roderick Logan from Litchfield Park has a compelling personal story that guides his mission to empower others to acknowledge their inherent strength and potential for growth, guiding them toward a more resilient future.

    With our board members, alumni committee and curriculum committee all participating; you can help us strengthen the future for all CENTRL leaders!
