✨ 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. 💙
