Growing Leaders Students on Working in Committees

After students brainstormed ways to grow the Growing Leaders business, they got together in committees to make several of these ideas a reality. Below, Erin, Alex, and Silas talk about some of the successes and challenges they experienced while getting the Breakfast Club and the Growing Leaders Cookbook off the ground.

​Breakfast Club
One success this year in Growing Leaders is the morning coffee stand. That’s the group that I was in and we actually put our plan in action and now it’s happening once a month! It feels good that we made that happen.

I was really happy with the Breakfast Club stand, which I was on the committee for. It is cool that it was so successful on its’ first sale and I think it’s really good for reaching our financial goal. I hope it continues to grow.
Something I found surprising was that it is hard to start new projects because everyone has to agree, we have to figure out where to get the money/ goods, and how to make sure that it would make us money consistently.

Cookbook
One success I’ve had in this class was helping to finish the cookbook. I didn’t do all that much, but I did assist with this, which succeeded. I worked with the rest of the committee to create a published, artistic notebook.
