US SWIM SCHOOL ASSOCIATION Owners Circle - Chicago

Led by the CAC's expertly trained docent volunteers, the river cruise tells the stories behind more than 50 buildings along the Chicago River. Hear how Chicago grew from a small settlement into one of the world's largest cities in less than 100 years. In just 90 minutes, you'll get the best overview of Chicago’s architecture and its history. At twilight the city's architecture takes on a whole new life in the setting sun, serene and bathed in softer light. Kick off our weekend adventures by enjoying a cocktail with friends and family and experience Chicago's skyline on a luxury boat.

Get your questions answered. Prior to the event each attendee will have the opportunity to submit questions for the group to adress and share best practices. Learn from your peers in this intimate setting.

Do you struggle with getting staff to do things you ask of them? Do you feel like your constructive feedback is resulting in unhappy staff? This workshop will include activities that demonstrate how to create strong effective agreements, how to hold yourself and others accountable to agreements as well as ways to provide feedback. Note: the workshop will provide homework to complete once you get back to your school and a follow-up webinar for attendees will be hosted at a date TBD.
