The Future of Alabama AER

Leadership Training Initative 2023

Baloon Challenge

Alabama AER hosted its third AER Leadership Training Initiative (LTI) on May 8 & 9, 2023. The purpose of LTI is to introduce and train future leaders of Alabama AER to serve as board members, officers, and committee members. We met at the beautiful Alabama 4-H Center, in Columbiana, Alabama.  The following four members were selected to participate: LaTanya Chatman, Courtney Pettway, Stephanie Pizza, and Marquita Riggins. All Alabama AER Board Members also participated. 

We had lots of fun learning opportunities; especially the team building activities. There’s something about connecting with balloons or balancing on a log that just brings people together. We also conducted an official Alabama AER Board of Directors meeting. All LTI attendees participated in the meeting, each contributed, in their own unique way, enriching the discussion and demonstrating the value of distinct perspectives and new ideas. This impressive group of professionals will no doubt have a positive impact and play a significant role in the future of Alabama AER. 

Many thanks to the participants, board members, and our gracious hosts at the Columbiana 4H Center for making the 2023 LTI a successful event.
