Participation requires attendance at all three virtual sessions (June 18, July 16 and August 6).
The League, with support from its Education Advisory Committee, is leading a virtual professional development opportunity in alignment with the League’s Strategic Direction to promote the mission, beliefs, and values of the League, specifically Education and Leadership for a Lifetime. This professional development series for AD’s will utilize Dr. Troy Urdahl’s recent book, Chasing Influence, to assist them in leading an education-based activities program. CEU’s will be available to those who complete the series with fidelity.
About Chasing Influence- Dr. Urdahl’s book, a tale of how the town of Wassail Falls rallies around its longtime and beloved baseball coach, Stick Olson, who suffers through back-to-back tragedies. The story is entertaining, enlightening, and inspiring – it offers practical advice and wisdom for anyone who desires to make a positive impact in the lives of others.
When: *All sessions are virtual via Zoom

AD’s that choose to participate in the Summer Professional Development will be divided into small cohorts or “huddles” of 6-8 people led by a captain (member of the Education Advisory Committee).
