Project Centrl

Build skills: Activism 101;
Experience issues: Behind the scenes tour of Novo Biomass power plant, improving forest and watershed health;
Connect Leaders: alumni and volunteers: in water, ranching and logging.
These 3 things bring each experience together for CENTRL Class 35 in White Mountains.

Class 35 of rural leaders from across Arizona spent the last few days working with SecretsforExceptionalSpeaking to learn how to break communication down from an art to a science! A fundamental skill for their next year together.

Capitol Hill Day! Sharing boots on the ground experiences from rural Arizona while building relationships with Senators, members of the House of Representatives, staff and Committees. Well done Class 34!

Board rooms and business by day make for boring pictures (even with thought challenging content!) Monuments and Memorials by night make memories.

At the risk of cherry picking from our surprise dinner guest last night; Class 34 leaves Gettysburg and heads to DC inspired “…For us the living…dedicated to the UNFINISHED work…that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

We are saddened to share the passing of Jeff Homack from Class 23. His classmates have already started making donations in his honor to the program that binds us all. Sharing: “It’s so special, we don’t all always agree on every issue; but we will all stand together always.” Class 23 invites you to join them in honoring Jeff with a gift to CENTRL.
