ACM Retreat

This week was our annual Advancement Communication and Marketing overnight retreat at the Inn at Cedar Falls. We always get a lot accomplished at this intense working getaway. This is my third retreat since joining the retreat. We usually go in early spring when it's chilly. But this year, we went in August! The weather was gorgeous so we took a hike at the falls. Look at that snapping turtle!



Group hike!



For the past few weeks, we've been anonymously submitting superlatives for each other, and then Hailee compiled the best ones and made trophies for each of us! Mine is "Most likely to ride a unicorn to work and eat sunshine for breakast." Guilty as charged!



We told ghost stories by the fire pit once dark arrived. This made it a little creepy to walk back to our rooms afterward!



Especially when this snake slithered across our paths. Eek!



The next morning, we got up bright and early to set our goals for the upcoming year. I've never set goals amongst a family of deer before!



The whole team showing off our trophies. I'm lucky to work with such a creative and talented group!
