SOUTHWEST LEADERSHIP BREAKS ATTENDANCE RECORDS in 2000

Module II, held last year in December because of county elections, was fully booked months in advance. Fifty-five participants from 16 cities and towns and 10 counties in Arizona, as well as from CSA, AACo, the Secretary of State's Office, and Georgia and Japan, made up the class. Participant evaluations rated the overall module and all but one session 3.6 or higher (out of 4). Philosophy in Governance, Leadership for the 21st Century, and Negotiations were particularly well received. Participants told us they especially liked the three photos of Module II opportunities to work together, to learn in hands-on experiential sessions, and to experience the "open camaraderie" of the program.
