Approximately 200 Northwest students, along with 30 students from Central Methodist, Rockhurst University and Truman State University will attend the third annual Team Leadership Regional Conference, beginning Friday. Cordelia Holbert, a clinical therapist for Hallmark Behavioral of Kansas City, will kick off the weekend with a keynote presentation. Registration for the conference will begin at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9. Activities will resume Saturday with a breakfast. Attendants will have the opportunity to attend five specific sessions and two roundtable discussion groups.
Topics range from defining a leader to coping with difficult people and conflict.
Discussions will include Greek, multicultural, student government and gender issues. Jenna Rhodes, a member of the Team Leadership board of directors, will give a presentation on healthy relationships, gender differences and how the two relate to leadership. I want them to think about and be conscious of the differences when dealing with leadership and the opposite sex. Hall directors and other members of the Residential Life staff will be presenting most of the information. Faculty members and other students will make up the rest of the 28 presenters.
