Last night I felt like I was going to my first day of school. I walked up feeling nervous because I was seeing 49 new faces. It was orientation for Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute!

Orientation was held at the Salisbury House in DSM, which is a gorgeous mansion and was the perfect setting. I met lots of great new people and am so excited for the next nine months of learning, development, challenges and of course, our class project.

Hello class of 2013 (the best class yet)!
