More time and more developing of small partnership.
More detail instead of general.
Locate people to center.
I think it is a good design because everyone seems to enjoy the interaction.
Copy of the agenda in advance for chairs
Room set-up too long, hard to see and interact
Not have it during OSU shoot out

from one another.

experience.
Start earlier and on time.

More group activity work.
More focus on actual leadership skill development.
More discussion on what works.
