If Leadership Williston is anything like Leadership Missoula, I also highly recommend it. I went through a couple of years ago and it was a real eye opener to alot of things I didnt even know existed here in Missoula.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I have to wonder if they asked me to be the program director because they like me, or if it's because they felt I needed a remedial course.
