The LUOMA Leadership Academy Annual Gathering was held via ITV across the state. I attended via ITV from Southwest Minnesota State University. The focus of the day was "Think Differently." The day revolved around three primary sessions: Leading Courageously in the Face of Economic Challenge, Demand in a Think-Different Economy, and Sustaining Leadership Developing Efforts.
They were all good, useful, thought-provoking sessions. The Think-Different Economy session provided some interesting statistics such as in 2015 there will be 10% fewer high school students and in 2020 there will be more 65-year-olds than 16-22 year-olds in Minnesota. Hmm, makes one wonder about marketing emphasis and techniques...
I'm glad I took the time to re-connect with LUOMA colleagues. It would have been great if we all could have been together in one location as originally scheduled, but it was still worthwhile over ITV. We have a great face-to-face opporunity in 2010 as the Chair Academy's International Leadership Conference for Post-Secondary Leaders will be held in Minneapolis!
