Join us for a two-day retreat in Door County as our facilitator, Jane Pirsig, guides us through a series of cult ural models to help us identify and articulate our own, often unspoken, elements of organizationa l culture while we consider other paradigms that may align or diverge from our own. Through panel presentations and activ ities we will < span class="NormalTextRun SCXW45256813 BCX8">begin on Day 1 by “Mapping the Waters” and then shift in Day 2 to “Navigating Collaborative Waters.”
This one-of-a-kind, famil y inclusive event gathers members up in beautiful Door County for two days of retreat and joint learning. Agencies are encouraged to bring their leadership teams to deepen< /span> learning and deliver durable results for your organization.
