Binders: We will have informational binders made for you to include the agenda, biographies of our speakers, driving and location maps, the daily menu and location information for both venues. A binder will be provided for you on the tables upon your arrival in the Francis Crocker Room. Nature Walk: We cannot attend this location without taking some time out for a leisure nature walk. Directly after lunch, we have offered some time to enjoy Mother Nature’s wilderness. Bottled water will be available, so remember to take one with you! Group Photo: One of the highlights of last year’s Leadership Session, was a memorable photo of our group. We’d like to schedule this right after lunch, before we head out for our nature walks or to explore the museum and gift shops. Dress Code: During the day, casual dress is encouraged. Denim, Khakis, polo shirts are acceptable. Remember to wear, or bring comfortable walking shoes and a light sweater or jacket (climate difference of 30-degrees between the base and top of the mountain).
