Speaker at Graham Center

[VILLANUEVA,JOSHUA A]

Hey GOTers,

I hope you are ready for our kick-off meeting next wednesday. I just
saw the posting of this event of the honors listserve and thought it
would be quite interesting, interesting as in if I was physically at
UF i would be there. We are an affiliate member of the Graham Center
and I would really like to see you guys come to these events because
they are educative, inspiring and even interesting. Part of being a
leader is learning from others and here you have the opportunity to
hear recognized leaders give you life lessons and open your mind up in
a concentrated period of time. How is that for learning? For my part i
will be getting in touchwith the Graham Center coordinator soon so
that we are kept abreast of future personal discussion opportunities
with these speakers.

I havent had time to respond to the 3 of you who have gotten back to
me about your GOT group meetings because i am in Belgium for the time
being but to those leaders who have not still responded, please
remember to do so in the time frame i outlined.

All the best from Bruxelles (brussels),
Joshua
