Project Progress

Greetings, O Leaders of Charlottesville!

Our team is progressing with our project and we've gathered the other teams are, as well. We have all selected a community project to support and are working in small teams of 5-12 or so to accomplish goals. It's the portion of the program that enables us to exercise those leadership skills we already have and to learn new skills along the way.

Our project has a poverty awareness focus (more on this later) and our group has been encouraged by the excitement the idea is generating in the community. The response from community partners we've approached for assistance has been very enthusiastic. Our team is fantastic; a diverse group that bring individual talents and connections that nicely complement one another and bring much to the project. As we move forward, my confidence in the project grows.

Our projects need to be completed in April. Deadlines will quickly loom. I'm interested to hear from other LC participants, past and present about any key learnings or best practices (ah, so much corporate consultant-speak, I know) gained during the project building process.

Feel free to e-mail me or chime in here in the comments section so everyone else can read.
