You can't overstated the importance of a great event like this

My expectation at the beginning of this was to build team. But I saw much more in this. I saw team spirit. I saw trust being built. I saw vulnerabilities in the team. They challenged each other. When you put this together you can’t overstate the importance of a great event like this in the wonderful way that young ladies involved facilitated it. It was fun. It was invigorating. It was engaging.
