The "Greater" Purpose (slide from Spring Quarter Challenge PPT)

• Navigate an ethical issue
• Understand the Lobbyists' Dilemma (how to balance personal views vs. work views)

• Network with others
• Work in the large group (again)

Goal-Setting Workshop

Notes from last week:

Many of our alumni supporters were impressed by how much time and effort you put into the program.  They were astonished that 'it's like a part-time job' yet they still want to put in the work.  Our question for this week is why you continue to put so much time and effort into the program.  What keeps you motivated to remain engaged in BLF?
