The Rio Grande Chapter was privileged to be one of the first Leadership Development Project sites with Marshall Ganz. This year-long training taught us many important lessons. Although the internet is certainly a fine tool, in my opinion there is and will be no substitute for knocking on doors, tabling, and social events where folks can form relationships. We are so desensitized to media that they have become much less effective now. The media may serve to get us into the ballpark. But after that in my humble opinion, person to person, face to face is what it’s all about.
