When it comes to developing leaders at all levels of their organizations they turn to The Lincoln Leadership Institute at Gettysburg. We provide: Unique programming: The Lincoln Leadership Institute at Gettysburg offerings are not history courses or courses in military strategy. Rather they focus on leadership—your leadership and the leaders you are developing within your organization. Offerings from The Lincoln Leadership Institute at Gettysburg are the ultimate in blended learning. We use the battlefield as a classroom, history as a metaphor, and multimedia presentations to provide insight to historical characters. We engage in provocative conversations, enlightening discussions and proactive reflection. Customizable solutions: Members of our team will collaborate with you and your organization to select, customize and tailor the right combination of the offerings to guarantee the maximum return on your investment. Sustainability: Our programs stay alive in the minds of participants and in the organizational culture to ensure return on your investment for the following reasons: Through the unique and creative use of historical metaphor and an examination of the lives of historic characters we develop "bookmarks" in the minds of participants. We use a leadership model that is easily implemented across all levels of an organization. The concepts from our model can be practiced right away, which immediately reinforces all strategies. Finally, participants learn emotionally as well as intellectually by connecting on a personal level with the characters we examine. When we learn emotionally, the insights stay with us forever! With 70% of U. S. employees saying that they are "not engaged" or "actively disengaged" at work with the number one reason being the quality of their leadership, "our sessions" are one that everyone needs to experience. * June 26 8:00am-12:30pm Mentoring Breakfast Candidates, New Members and Non Members * July 18 Family Fun Day All Day Event Canobie Lake Park~ Family Fun Day ~ IREM Members and Friends ~ Networking Event * August 21 12:00pm-3:00pm Strategic Planning Annual Chapter Meeting * September 9 10:00am-9:00pm Annual Charity Golf Tournament and Tennis, Fundraiser, Networking Event, Business Meeting * October 14-18 Annual National Conference IREM Fall Leadership Conference, Orlando, FL * November 13 JFK Library, Boston Awards Night ~ Chapter Awards, Life Time Achievement Award, Landscape Contest, New Members Installation, Networking, Industry Partners Expo and Dinner * December 4 5:00pm-9:00pm Holiday Celebration and Installation of New officers and Executive Board Members, Women Professional Achievement Award, Venezia Water Front Restaurant, Dorchester.
