Ridder Leadership- Hi!

Good morning all,

As I sit here looking at the COLD Michigan winter outside my window, anticipating the 6-8 inches of snow expected tomorrow. I am wishing we were back in the warm weather of Texas. We were so blessed to have such an amazing week of weather, learning, and enrichment. What a great gift we have been given by the Ridder Initiative.

I wanted to reintroduce myself and share what my role throughout the Ridder Leadership Initiative will be. I work in the WTS- Journey Department as an Administrative Associate. I coordinate the logistical arrangements for all of the Ridder Events (Texas, Holland, and Augusta Oct/Jan). I am handling the hotel accommodations, meals, and travel arrangements, as well as, the Conference Center accommodations and administrative arrangements. So you will be receiving reminders and update from me periodically.

My first update and reminder is that you should have or be very close to confirming your Leadership Teams. I am currently working on database input of these teams. When I have received all final team lists, I will at that time add any additional members from the waiting list to your teams. This will be done on a rotating system. We will expand as many teams as possible, based on our original model and maximum numger we can include in the upcoming events. I will be contacting you with final lists soon.

Blessings to you all,

Lee Ann
