Workshop Description

Two years ago BASE Camp had a morale issue. As the new Executive Director it was Seth Kelley's job to find a creative avenue to address this issue. The process they employed was a milestone in how an organization of over 25 years did business. Seth will open up his process and materials to show how he made this change.
