LDW 2024 Recap!
Jeremy Elliott of The University of Alabama in Huntsville and Jamie Gilbert Mikell of Athens State University collaborated to host an exceptional NAKHE 2024 Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The 2024 LDW welcomed multiple speakers and presenters, including Paralympic champions Bob Lujano and Willard Brooks, as well as leadership experts from the Huntsville community, UAH, and Athens State University.
In addition to the LDW, the 2024 Department Head Certification Training (DHCT) cohort commenced and will collaborate over the next 18 months. This year's event was a resounding success as participants engaged in a blend of learning, collaboration, and growth, highlighted by an inspiring quad rugby game as the culminating event of day one. The LDW also featured excellent food and fostered a strong camaraderie among attendees, creating a place to learn, grow, collaborate, and reinforce the mission of NAKHE.
NAKHE extends its gratitude to all who contributed to the workshop's success. From the dedicated attendees and insightful presenters to the many individuals working diligently behind the scenes, everyone's efforts were invaluable. Thank you for making NAKHE 2024 LDW and DHCT an unforgettable experience. We look forward to seeing everyone in Puerto Rico in 2025!
