Making Your Mark at the National Cluster Leadership Meetin

This last weekend wrapped up the National Cluster Meetings held in Reno, Indianapolis, and Oklahoma City.  Hopefully your chapter was able to attend one of these fantastic meetings.  So now that you have attended, what do you do with the information?  You can kick off a membership drive using those ideas from the Membership Recruitment workshop.  How about those leadership games to revitalize your students for mid-semester blues or to develop some great communication skills?  Of course, STAR Event competitions are just around the corner and you can incorporate some of those projects in your classroom activities.  But, advisers were not the only ones who made their mark.  The Skill Demonstrations competitors showcased their expertise in Culinary Arts, Impromptu Speaking and the new event, Toys that Teach.  Members learned how to develop a sense of humor and appreciate themselves and others and decrease bullying in their communities.  In addition, students and advisers experienced many networking opportunities, made connections with others and gained more new ideas.  So, take those notes, start thinking outside the box, and integrate those ideas in your daily practices.  Have a great holiday and don’t forget to be thankful!
