Initially, I was really apprehensive about the retreat experience. It was a mixture of nervousness and excitement as I wondered who I would meet and whether or not my fellow Dem NC team members would embrace me. Now mind you, I am by no means a outdoors person and the whole thought of camping at a retreat setting made me cringe (LOL). But had I wasted my time focusing on that side of it, I would have missed out on getting to know know new people as well as strengthen my interpersonal skills.
The Elfland retreat allowed me to utilize the time to underestand the foundation of which Dem NC was founded on, as well as its core values. Through critically studying this valuable information it strengthened my confidence to promote issues such as VOE and s well as lobbying and ethics reform.
