Central Region Venturing
Planning Conference 2014
Salutations, Venturers!
Recently I had the excellent experience of attending the
2014 Central Region Venturing Planning Conference in Naperville,
Illinois. Representatives from each of the 7 Areas were in
attendance. Venturers arrived on the 20th to begin the two night
Venturing experience.
At the Conference, new the Venturing leadership was able to
get to know their fellow officers and learn some of the skills they
need to be successful over the year during their terms. Each of the
different offices had breakout sessions that aided them in their understanding of their roles. Officers
took the information that they learned in these sessions and used them in the subsequent Area
meetings that were had at the conference.
On the second night of the Conference, the Venturing leaders took
a well-earned break from their meetings and visited the John Hancock
Observatory in downtown Chicago and participated in the Tilt attraction
there, an interesting feat of architecture that provided the Venturers with
a unique look down 94 floors at the city of Chicago.
Altogether, the 2014 Central Region Venturing Conference was a
huge success. Roles were learned, plans were made, selfies were taken,
and friendships were formed. I have no doubt that this coming year will be a fantastic one for the
Central Region!
