WSU LeadershipPlentyand P/R Training


Here’s an update on what is happening in Chewelah with the Horizons program. I attended another 3 day conference on the Spokane WSU campus, attending classes on communications and public relations using media and photos, advanced blogging, financial asset building, small community farmers markets, an advanced communications class which included; mapping your communication assets, writing for the media and creating a power point. Horizons provided from the State of Washington, George Sharp, Educational and Training Coordinator of the International Trade & Economic Development Division and staff from WSU in the other areas. Resources were provided as well as continued support if needed.
The highlight of the conference was a lunch meeting with 5th district Representative Cathy Mc Morris Rogers. I came back with renewed energy and excitement for our Farmers market and programs that will help our community to grow and prosper. I encourage all of you to contact me @ kamar1@centurytel.net or the Chewelah blogg at http://www.chewelah.bloggspot.com for updates and for how you can serve in our community.
