February 10, 2023 – Sarasota
The Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County Inc, (ELC) has been awarded a $5000 grant from The Leslie and Margaret Weller Fund of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to fund a professional development project.
ELC collectively and consistently strives to meet the needs of the community with originality. In order to continue this work, leadership within the agency places a high priority on team culture and professional development. Therefore, on November 16, 2022, the Leadership Team, composed of Officers and Directors, met to participate in a full-day Excellence Performance Leadership Seminar with Tony Daum.
During the seminar, through group discussion and friendly negotiation, five words were selected to become the pillars of the culture desired at ELC. These words – integrity, innovation, support, investment, and commitment – were selected and will be written into the fabric of the agency through various activities. This grant award will allow ELC to expand these pillars to the entire Early Learning Coalition’s 51-strong workforce at a one-day group retreat in May. Excellence Performance will be the group’s guest speaker, sharing ways in which every team member can contribute to a positive and thriving team culture.
