Fun Team Building Retreat at Mountain Lake

The WEI is starting its 2011/2012 business cycle with a “Team Building” retreat.  We are set for an overnight retreat at the Mountain Lake Biological Station on Friday evening, August 26 and all day Saturday, August 27.  We’ll have dinner up there on Friday night followed by a team-building exercise and socializing.  We’ll spend Saturday getting to know each other better through numerous exercises to demonstrate individual differences defined by the Myers-Briggs instrument and have breakfast and lunch there.  Home by dinner time on Saturday to soak in the festivities offered in downtown Blacksburg during the first weekend of the new semester.  We will join Dr. Steve McMullin’s and Dr. Brian Bond’s 12 Leadership Institute students at the retreat.

High performance depends on exceptional teamwork.  Attendance at the retreat is critical for the new WEI group to begin developing team skills as soon as possible.  Plus the trip will be fun at the spectacular mountain lake area!
