✨ Leadership Corpus Christi Class 55 – Opening Retreat Recap ✨

Class 55 is officially underway! 🎉

Leadership Corpus Christi Class 55 kicked off its year with a two-day Opening Retreat at Camp Aranzazu, bringing the class together for an immersive experience focused on leadership, self-discovery, Corpus Christi history, team building and connection.

Across the two days, Class 55 experienced:

Corpus Christi History with Carol Scott, LCC 16, and Mark Scott, LCC 17, connecting the city’s past to the community Class 55 will explore throughout the year and gaining a deeper understanding of the people, decisions and milestones that helped shape Corpus Christi.

StrengthsFinder & Individual Strengths with Galen Hoffstadt, LCC 17, identifying the talents each class member brings to the table and how different strengths can complement one another when working toward a common goal.

Personal Mission Statement Development with Kelsey Chopelas, LCC 48, challenging class members to define the values and purpose that guide how they lead, serve and make an impact.

“Your Life Walk” with Dr. Kate Rodriguez Treiber, LCC 50, creating space for reflection and meaningful conversation about the experiences that shape our perspectives and the way we connect with others.

During the team-building challenges, the class experienced putting communication and collaboration into action at a moment's notice.

A special thank you to Camp Aranzazu for welcoming Class 55 and providing an incredible setting for two days of learning, connection and experiences that set the tone for the year ahead. 💙

And of course, thank you to our Opening Retreat sponsors who helped make these two days possible:

Presenting Sponsor: Corpus Christi Medical Center
Fishing Shirt Sponsor: Corpus Christi International Airport
Drinkware Sponsor: Prosperity Bank

Two days of shared experiences. A year of leadership and learning ahead. The Class 55 journey has begun. 🙌

Class 55 has arrived! From Onboarding to Orientation, class members are eager to begin their personal and collective journey together.

During Onboarding, class members received an overview of the longstanding United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce program, Leadership Corpus Christi. It was also an opportunity for the new class to meet one another for the first time and hear from Anna Aldridge, Foundation Chair, who wished them well as they begin their LCC journey.

Orientation gave class members the opportunity to participate in a SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) activity, take part in a hypothetical $10M budgeting exercise, hear from other “Voices of Support,” and share their “Why LCC.” The class also learned about the 12 Principles of the LCC program, which serve as a foundation for upcoming sessions.

Thank you to Corpus Christi Medical Center for your continuing support of LCC.

Thank you to Dawson Recycling and House of Rock for sponsoring the class's Onboarding kickoff.

Thank you to Rally Credit Union for serving as the Orientation sponsor for the first official session, and to Dana Sisk for welcoming this new group into the LCC family.

Thank you to Lyndsey Shinn and Joshua Tijerina for sponsoring our venue, the Corpus Christi Country Club.

Thank you to the Leadership Corpus Christi Alumni Association for sponsoring the Welcome Mixer.

And a special “Thank you!” to all the alumni who took the time to stop by, welcome the next “Best Class Ever!,” and reconnect with friends.

Along with the LCC 55 Steering Committee, we look forward to another stellar year of discovery and community impact. We sincerely appreciate all of our sponsors' commitment to building our community’s future leaders.
