 Mike Butler, former Longmont Chief of Security continues to make a difference in the Longmont Community. Mike is forming a non-profit school called, The School of Statesmanship. “We interchangeably use the word statesman, stateswomen, states-person. This is a different kind of statesmanship school with emphasis on developing leadership/citizenship skills that view the world through a lens of goodness and possibilities, not just problems to be fixed”. This model moves away from a Patriarchal or Machiavellian style of leadership, and instead focuses on Servant Leadership-a model where leaders serve those they are leading. “In our school, the art of great citizenship will be emphasized, believing that great communities are created by great citizens. That means not just leaders, but empowered citizens."
Each course is three hours with 45 courses, totaling 135 hours of in-class course work, (with a few hours outside the classroom). He hopes the school will open in October of this year. Some of the Task Force Partners include local Rotarians- Tim Waters, Carol Enright, Carol Santala-Gearing, Wein-Pin Yeh and Dick Lyons. |

President Wein challenged the club to a new initiative called, "Each One Care One". At the Rotary International Convention, Wein heard the RI President, Jennifer Jones talk about the importance of showing care to our fellow Rotarians. According to President Jones, "Rotary has an important role to play to ensure that the club environment and experience is welcoming, inclusive, and enjoyable for all members and participants. Surveys show that comfort and care is the single greatest driver of satisfaction and our most powerful tool for retention."
