A team is a group of people joined together in a cooperative activity, working in a coordinated effort.  We are part of numerous teams at any given point in our lives via family relationships, friendships, work environments, volunteer and recreational activities.

Leadership Dutchess will spend their first session in the classroom exploring the different types of teams and the most effective work styles and then in the afternoon is spent on the "low ropes" course.
