Boise Team Meeting

  Boise, Idaho
Monday, January 23, 2006

The Rotary Foundation Group Study Exchange program is a unique cultural and professional exchange opportunity for young professionals. This exchange program offers exceptional opportunities to develop professional and leadership skills which they can, in turn, use to help address their own community's needs.

One Rotarian leader leads a team of four non-Rotarian team members across the globe to strengthen cultural, professional and personal understanding.

In 2006, teams will travel between Rotary District 5400 in Idaho and Rotary District 3670 in Korea. The team members include:
* Francie Aguilar, Nampa, ID -- Team Leader

* Susan Schiffler, Twin Falls, ID -- Team Member

* Anna Sparrell, Boise, ID -- Team Member

* Eric Spovey, Boise, ID -- Team Member

* Craig Barry, Ketchum, ID -- Team Member


This was our first team meeting where we truly got a sense of the Korean adventure that lay ahead. We met with the Rotary Governor, Rusty, who shared with us her enthusiasm for the trip and with team members from last year's trip to Argentina.

Apart from working on trip logistics, we got to know one another better and build more excitement about the journey ahead.
