2010 NUI Staff Retreat
The staff retreat was held on October 12, 2010. The basis for the retreat was to focus on teambuilding skills and to promote NUI. The staff was divided into two teams and sent out with a survival kit containing only brochures, flyers, business cards, and a camera. Staff had to visit three organizations in the community to discuss NUI's services and possible partnerships with NUI. Staff then had to return to the office and conduct a presentation about their experience. The retreat was a great success and everyone had fun!
